So, this all started out with an AX-10. (Rig on right of picture)
I wanted a little more realism, so I bought an SCX10 conversion (frame and new links) and some Hot Bodies air shocks. I got a lexan Parma Silverado body and painted it blue - though it was way off from the color of my truck.
I stumbled across a RadioShack monster truck on ebay that electronics were broken on and snatched it up for $35.
Painted it with dulpiclor GM color match paint and cleared it. It matches quite well.
Now all that's left to do is to get some decent 1.9 wheels, lower the suspension a bit, and set the rear axle in the wheel wells.
I'll get better pictures of the progress soon.
Oh, and here's the next set of goodies I'm throwing at it![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And of course the 1:1 inspiration![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
