Building my brother a 1981 bronco

[Gasguzzler]

Well well well,what do we have here..another build,with a twist
it's time to build my brother a truck!

So for this rig we decided on a scx 10 gen 1 based 1981 Ford bronco,we're using the scx 10 G1 cause that was my brothers 1st scale rig and it's still in awesome shape,it's got a few mods here and there most notably a TFL forward mounted transmission and t case so I can make him a full interior*

I picked up a pro line 1981 Ford bronco body(cringe..lexan body)and some rc4wd mud gripper 1.9" tires along with a set of rc4wd rally wheels(whaaaat!?rally wheels on a Ford?..I know I'm a monster but they looked so good with the 80's Ford body)to start I mounted up the body on the chassis(no holes though,body clips scare me,I'll be using velcro to hold the body on)it fit perfectly the 1st time(huge surprise)and I lowered the body mounts and suspension a bit to get the right stance(class 1 truck being built here)

next up I mounted up the tires to the wheels,these wheels are beadlocks,but I was forced to glue the tires to the wheels since I forgot to mesure the demensions on both the wheels and tires...the wheels are wider overall then the tires,so the inner ring didn't fit,my mistake

Enjoy the photos!more to come,stay tuned!

That looks awesome. The stance fits the Bronco body perfectly!

I'm excited to see you finish this one.
