SCX Mud Truck Monster Build PIX FIXED

This was extremely fun to build. I have been gathering parts for a while, and was able to finish it up today.
I started out with this that I picked up in the Classifieds hrere at RCC. Nice SCX chassis with aluminum shock mounts and a "Mud Truck" Lift kit. Came with an Axial speed control, SCX transmission, 35T motor, what look to be Bomber Axles, aluminum links with Revo ends, SSD Steering links, and a RTR Tactic Servo.
I have always liked the Proline Pitbull body. Found this one in the local Hobbytown Clearance for $13.00 over a year ago. It is for an Associated RC10T B4.2 I was not sure what I was going to do with it, but I knew I would figure something out.
Initially I was thinking this would be a big 2.2 rig. I picked up some Rock Beasts and some cheap 2.2 wheels. (These are under $3.00 right now on Tower. In the clearance section, they go to an Arrma 1/10 something.)
I had the sticker kit from this body laying around, which gave me the paint idea:
At this point I threw the JConcepts wheels and tires on the rig... and fell in love. The shocks matched up better with the wheel wells with the body on backwards.
The frame I had was like new. So I bought another one and set about running it backwards. This shows what I cut off of the front and the back to make it the right length
A front bumper and rear body mount were next. None of the Axial bumpers I had would fit this tiny body, so I cut up one for a Traxxas Stampede 4x4 and mounted it to a flat cross member.
The rear "Shock Towers" on the body required that I fab something to keep the rake the way I wanted. I made a platrform and wend the Velcro Route to mount the body
