Finally got a chance to get this truck out on the rocks today, the suspension is set up nice and soft and it tucks the tires nicely. It could use a BEC but otherwise I was happy with the performance





Whoops






full boost



Sick rock face I found

Wow, Geat build, amazing work. If I wasn't on an RC sight and hadn't gone through several pages of this incredible build you couldn't have told me the second to last picture wasn't a 1:1.

Considering the weight factor and how scale I made it it does work surprisingly well. It wouldn't hold up against a scx10 in a scale comp or anything but for trail riding around it really does seem to work well. I just need to try and stuff a BEC in it somewhere or maybe just get a stronger servo.

Those wheels look so right on there. Except for being all shiny of course.
Still love this rig!

I agree Chris, I was thinking I could hit them with some scotch bright to dull them down some, then maybe add a tiny bit of rust to make them like chrome is finishing is rusting like it would on the real steal wheels

Thanks Rick!

There was a lot of competition in the class one class, between Rich's, Matt's, and Andy's set up it wasn't an easy choice for anyone to pick.

I'm just glad the Subarux took best of show for class 2

They are the gear head ENK wheels available at RPP Hobby. Unfortunately I couldn't use them on the truck because they rubbed the front brake and caliper set up
