Hi all!

this will be my second posted build. I've been toying with this truck for awhile now and its under gone several changes! originally i had planed on a 4door but got side tracked by all the sweet truggies that where popping out at that time. so i resently stumbled on a few sweet yotas an desided i had procrastinated enough an it was time to get this idea of mine done!!

the build details:

rc4wd trail finder1 chasses, leafs up front 4link rear

tlt axles, locked loaded an flipped (because of leafs)

rc4wd 2speed linked to axial trans' plus HR dig

sidewinder brushless esc, JR rec'/controler for now. (its only 3 channal) high touque servo, winch, ect.

this is the truggy to be chopped, an chasses utilized.

and then i did this, didn't like how the geometry was so off!
a>


see?
a>


and now the 4door

poser pics, mocked up, suspension hung.

getting the bed dropped
a>


getting the cracks filled, styreeeeen smoothed, tailgate smoothed as well.
a>


relocated the shocks, there off a touring car. going to remove the TF body mounts and debating cutting the shock mounts as well. or cutting the bed and hidding them with a 1st gen lux half camper or tool box. suggestions??

some drive train pics. that esc is toasted, an thats a cheapy 85t aka hella slow! (outed)

this is a tlt axle shaft with the cc01 joint, the Axial trains has one of the exstended hubs plus a bushing an the "lug nut" holding it in place.
