This truck turned out great, thanks for keeping us up to date. Whats the latest news on making a body for this beast? BTW the vid was sweet! "thumbsup" Do you mind posting a pic or two of your brothers truck? Maybe yours and his together? It looked pretty similar to yours as far as i could tell.
Hey thanks man! For the body I found out that the jconcepts manta fits the cab perfectly, so I'll get that and make a plaster mold. Have to fix a couple things on it but it's the best start. I can use the fenders from it too. Thinking about making the hood piece myself though, that's much easier than making the whole cab and everything.
But glad you liked the vid, it's just a glimpse, can't wait to show more "thumbsup". Here's my brother's truck though. His is a Geiser Bros chassis if you're familiar with names. Trucks have a very similiar design and same wheelbase, just different cages.

Wow! Cant wait to see more! The first pic is awesome!! I really like the metal mesh you put in your side panels. I also have a welding question for you since both of these trucks look like they have super clean welds. When u welded the cage together did you use filler rod or just work with the metal (like brazing it together with no filler)?? Just curious because it seems like it would be hard to weld that small of diameter tubing. BTW i like your cage design better, both are insanely cool but yours has a more sinister look.8)
Yeah thanks! I have some awesome videos I plan to make with these things. But to answer your question, 90% of the time I don't use filler. The low carbon rod(solid) we use flows very nice. Only time I need filler is when there's a bigger gap, but we try to get everything to fit flush. But thanks lol, I love both of them :ror:

Them trucks are works of art! I remember last year reading thru your big thread on the first one you built. What sway bar setups do you run on them?
Haha you guys found them, they're from the Turnigy 4x4 sct.
Thanks man :mrgreen: My bro and I kinda have a knack for this stuff. Crazy how fast this one went huh? But I run wraith sway bars front and rear.
