C1 Montana bound clod dually

[Nate08]

Bringing this build over from my local board so forgive me if pictures get a little out of order














Body just resting on the truck, bottom of body will be even with bottom of frame rails when mounted, and not sure why the wb looks off its actually spot on







More to come...quickly as time is rapidly running out

[Nate08]

Few specs

Hand built chassis
Narrowed rest axle
Rc4wd semi beadlocks with 1.55 mud thrashers
Hpi gear reduction head unit
Axial trans as transfer case
handmade 3d engine to cover motor
Long long list of styrene parts

Still to come are:

Anti wrap bar
Sliders
bumpers
rear fenders.
Paint
and something else I think I'm forgetting but its late

Sounds good bud see you there

I'm hoping I'll be able to wrap up the c2 yota I'm building for a local newb to run at msd tomorrow so I can get back to focusing on this rig.

I had the matching front semi wheels, but getting them to work would've required a bunch of machining that I don't have the tools or skills to do.

Fifth wheel hitch and appropriate tail gate are the plan, though they may not happen before msd

[Nate08]

Got the styrene new paint out today.

Front inner fenders....check
Firewall.....check
Headrest.....check







One of these days I'll remember to paint those screw heads lol

[STANG KILLA SS]

where you gonna put all the electronics, motor, batt etc?

[Nate08]

The motor is already in place inside the "engine" servos are mounted next to the transfer case, fxr lipo and spectrum micro receiver will be in a truck box in the bed

[Nate08]

Thought I had a picture of just the engine with the motor inside but I seem to have lost it.

View from the bottom of the chassis, kinda clutered but you can see the motor inside the engine

[Nate08]

Not totally happy with how these look on the truck, probably going to make new ones post Montana out of some bedsides I'm getting from Steve but they're on and they'll work

[Nate08]

Finally got tired of looking at the cowl hood I'd never been happy with, i.e. the bondo cracked, so I made a new and improved one with a little more detail and no bondo at all. Still needs a little sanding and filing

[2forty3]

Looks great man, Im Subscribed to this

[Nate08]

Totally scrapped the original lame drop bed and built a new and improved version

[Nate08]

Thanks Devlin.
