GSXR420's F350 Build

[Nvghostrider]

Not sure why I didn't order those instead. Sure makes for a better seat than the flat outputs, hardened or not. Lovin the body. How long did you stretch your chassis and what is your end wheelbase?

The output shafts are really cheap on ebay, the guy I ordered mine from had 8 or 9 sets... I ordered two and I think the total was around 11.00 with shipping... But haven't found the pinion gear for the wraith axles cheap yet... I would asume they would go in a SCX10 axle. But I wasnt sure on the transmission so when I see a set for sale I will buy and let everyone know....

As for the wheel base I am unsure at the moment I will measure it up tonight and post a reply to ya...

Thanks for the comments... :mrgreen:
Some people don't understand skill set and what it takes to build a scale truck....
I have been working on this over a year... and I got a 14 month old son...
So time is lets say Super Limited....

I got a bunch more things to post so stay tuned...!"thumbsup"

 

[GSXR420]

The wheel base is roughly 11 3/4" now.....
These bodies are around 10 1/2" wheel base....
Thanks for the question.
I will post a picture of a stock body and mine soon so stay tuned.:mrgreen:

Got you a 12" exhaust tip huh

 

[GSXR420]

Yeah...LOL"thumbsup"

Pypes makes them.... I just couldn't bring myself to cut a 5" hole in my bed for stacks so I got one of those 12" exhaust tips.....

It gets a lot of looks, and comments for sure.....:mrgreen:

Looks good, but it looks a lot more scale with the 1.9s IMO.

[GSXR420]

It's just for looks.... Thanks though.
I got something in the works for rims and tires.
Keep an eye out I got a set of Wraith wheels and tires that look pretty good too.
I will post up some pictures tomorrow.

Awesome build you have going! I want to do the same but i am kind of new to the RC world, buddy of mine here at school has me interested. Hope to see more progress pics if you do anything else to it, but regardless it looks cool!

 

[GSXR420]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Been working on it for a while on and off.
Here are some pictures I took of it on the rocks behind my house last night.;-)

Still got several things to still get done.

Proline Tool Box -
(I got one on the way. Which should sit just how my tool box sits in the bed of my 1:1 as I used one I had for an old Ranger pickup I owned at one time and just mounted it in the bed. It sits a couple inches from the top of the bed lip.)

Rhino Line the inside of the bed - (Before that I need to clean up the edges in the bed where I glue the three pieces together.)

Paint the air damn under the front bumper. -

Thinking of painting in the door handles black and around the windows - (Like the window seal area.)

Stickers - (I need to get some clear label sheets and print off the 4x4 stickers for the bed sides and the rear window stickers I got on the 1:1 so they look the same.)

Wheels and Tires - Not sure what I am gonna do just yet. If you got a suggestion, I am all ears.

Build some floor boards and wheel wells -:mrgreen:

Getting there... This is my first build that I have done from the ground up.
So get to it."thumbsup"

 

[GSXR420]

So here is the Wraith Wheels and tires on the F350.

They look pretty good but they are huge. :twisted:

 

[GSXR420]

:lmao: They are way too big...
But for fun here is some shots on the rocks..."thumbsup"

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

[GSXR420]

So everyone likes 1.9 tires so here is what I came up with....

These are Wraith 2.2 Rims with 1.9 Flat Irons stretched over them.

These shot were taken after a quick trip around the back yard, it was raining pretty good.
