i saw this one at KBToys.com and had to have it, being a 1:1 Ranger owner. but the chassis is typical toy quality, i.e. 380 motor and no suspension. so i decided to modify it. here's what i have so far:

it's got an aluminum ladder frame, drivetrain from my E-Maxx with a solid rear axle, still independent up front, both axles narrowed, 2.2 Pro-Line Moabs,JR FM radio and soon to have working lights and turn signals.
it tops out around 20mph, which is exactly 1/6 of the 1:1's 120. it should come in around 17lbs, again perfectly scale.
still a work in progress. for anyone interested, here's the buildup thread:
