I gotta say thanks for the inspiration. It picked this up yesterday and will be staring my first "hardbody" SCX10 build. I've been building 1:1 turbo cars for years so I hope my bodywork skills (although not that great) will transfer to styrene. I quess we'll see. If you don't mind I'll may ask a few questions here and there. Thanks again for some sweet ideas.

 

[FROADER]

Ask away, although any bodywork questions would be better answered by pantablo (did the bodywork) or anyone else that knows what they're doing. I don't...

Anything else I should be able to help with. Good luck with your build! "thumbsup"

Small update:

I got some "rubber" mirrors from kuatto to replace the stocks that have been broken off since this truck's maiden voyage. I glued the "glass" from the stockers to kuatto's which should hold just fine. These things are perfect.

The testing will be done at Corona Del Mar tomorrow.

I used glue and a small bolt.

Quick test (still processing)

Doin' it big!

 

[FROADER]

That was a good day. Thanks for the pics!

 

[ae racer]

so what happened? did the drivers side mirror not hold up to the abuse?

 

[FROADER]

It did... I'll have to see if there is any kind of warranty on them.

Truck looks great. I picked up a body that was on an rc truck from target today that should work for the f350 build that I'm gonna do this summer, should require a little less body work. Do you know of any places that have the light covers and bumper and grille trees in stock?

 

[kalani1126]

This rig is sweet. I like the battery placement. Imma have to use that idea. Great thread!!!

 

[FROADER]

Thanks guys. kalani, that batt. placement really helped out a lot.

It may be getting some changes soon. I still have to decide if I want to or not.

 

[school boy]

Thanks guys.

I haven't touched any of my off-road RCs for a few months now. I got my first on-road (tt-01 drifter) and am in the process of building that.

unbilievalbel!!!!

Good Job!!"thumbsup"

 

[FROADER]

It may be getting some changes soon. I still have to decide if I want to or not.

Well the time has come to get back to work on this thing. I still haven't really touched any of my rigs for a while and I need to get back into it. I finally decided that I want to take it to the next level and make a truggy using this body, so I did some photoshop work last night.

These are a few of my ideas so far. I'm not sure if I want a full exo...

i think the last one looks the best.
