Who has made a tow truck out of the SCX10? I am looking for build ideas and inspiration.

There are also multiple options from Chinese sellers on eBay that you could check out - just use the search string "rc tow truck 1/10"...
They run from around $20 up to $65, some with winches included. They even have one that will mount to a Capra!
Not saying you should buy rather than build, but there are lots of different types to look at and get ideas of how they're setup.

Awesome, exactly what I am looking for!!!!
I have decided to use a tow truck boom from Amazon. Sadly, it isn't scheduled for delivery until the end of next week.

I have mocked up a flatbed for my SCX10, and making a couple of tweeks to the design, however, I have to wait until the boom arrives before I can any more significant progress.
Untitled by Scott O, on FlickrThe red PLA makes the thing look hideous, the final version of it will be printed in black or gun-metal gray. I use a lighter color PLA for mock ups so I can make notes on the mock with sharpie.
IERC has a similar style metal flat bed for $40 if you can find one in stock. Fits the power wagon cab nicely.Awesome, exactly what I am looking for!!!!

I saw that one, looks sharp. Sadly, its status shows it being out of stock. If my printed version goes to boom-boom, I will see if I can pick one of those up.
Edited my previous, there's another option in stock. This is the one I was thinking about when I first commented. Had one on an Scx10 tow project before it turned into a Scottsdale hard body.
