Started working on the frame cause my dand roof is sagging and i have to fix that.  and shortened the bed .5"  gonna do drop bed and i'm struggling with it because i have just enough styrene and the way i reinforced the bed is going to get in the way if i make the bottom meet the sides. |

Ive decided to stretch 1.9 tires over 2.2 wheels for a cen cal type look. School starts back monday so unfortunately for a while itll just be a shelf queen anyways. But i may swap over to 1.55s and slingers if i dont like it... Got the frame all cut up just need a drill or welder lol. I seem to have lost the drill i had...  |

Got leafs mocked up front, trying to get an idea of body height and shackle setup. It's really starting to move along     lmk what you guys think, this is my first time setting up leafs, and it's tough on scx10 chassis. I had to do a little bending to get them to work... |

Rolling chassis! The rear wheel base is a little off but i measured a 13" wheelbase and sitting on all 4s its 13" hub to hub. Ill do some tweaking and hopefully get it lined up... i have it mocked up on tlts and the width isnt too bad on these 1.9s. I orded 2.2s and 1.9s so hopefully itll turn out how i want it to   lmk what you guys think. Any pointers on wheelbase? To i need to just move rear hanger up a tad? |

Drop BED is underway.... ewwwww I hate it and I have no idea how i'm going to cut the ribs for the bottom... This is the part I've been dreading and for good reason...  This is about where I'm going to set the ride height, I didn't drop the bed all the way to the frame so I can lower the body if needed...  |

Got my wheels in! It's a little too wide but I like it... I may take 3/8-1/2" off the front of the rims, but then I'll lose my chrome...   What do you guys think? It's just going to be a tow rig, so no trail time, this is kind of the look I want... http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/...FS/picture.jpg but with that cali style http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/d1c12016.jpg |

Found this for a possible sound kit... First is a monster truck, second is a turbo diesel... The diesel's turbo isn't as realistic as the servonaut but it isn't terrible. The diesel starts at about 1:30 MrRCSound V4.1 Car/Truck Version, final in action! - YouTube |

Should this be moved to 1.9 section or 2.2 section since it has 1.9 tires and 2.2 wheels?

| Re: Blukon's crew clod
Drop bed under primer  next I gotta straighten out a bedside, apparently I wedged a piece if styrene too tight and it pushed the bedside out a tad so it doesn't line up with the cab. Then i'll work on slicking out the body, finishing out the rear light buckets, and that's about it with the body besides the tailgate... I'm trying to figure ou ta color scheme, I'm thinking solid white... Can't go wrong with white... Also, I kind of want to backwards mount a dig unit and do line locked burnouts, but I also want to run a divorced tranny/transfer kit, so IDK yet on that part. I want to run a full interior but if I run a dig tranny I won't be able to I don't think... I want to install sound module, light controller, and possibly dig... that's 5 channels.... What do you guys think? Last edited by blukon98; 01-26-2014 at 06:01 PM. |

Couple updates, just ordered Dinky Alum GR7 tranny, and some MO stuff! I've decided to use a stock axial tranny as a transfer case and mount it at an angle inside the frame and put a disconnect that I ordered on the front axle shaft so it'll do some sweet burnouts! Been sanding and priming the body getting it super slick. Got some yota 2 axles in the other day. They were used and had a tube of Loctite in each screwhole so getting the three link mounts off was a blast! Stripped all of them out and had to use a cutting disk to turn them into flatheads...  Had to replace front housing and hopefully that will straighten out the steering cause it's kind of off, like toe'd out...Found some drift wheels that are smaller than these but I'm afraid they will be 1.55s instead of 1.9s and I can't get an answer from the seller on ebay. I'm trying to figure out a color scheme and i'm thinking white body, and green/blue axles... Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do about the sound unit, and a couple of other things that are bugging me but it's making some real progress.Gotta find a nice 4 or 5 channel so I can control lights, sound unit, and dig. Thinking 4 channel and pitting a switch on the lights... But I got time to decide. I ordered my super secret driver today also. I'm excited, cause he's "one-a them squiddly sum-bitches whit a truck-boat-truck"  Don't ask... I'm silly, I know. Gonna make a bench seat for the front and back seat, and sit my driver on a 5 gal bucket lolol. Couple pics cause I love to mock it up ever so often.  |
