|  Real Scale 6x6
This has been in the works for over a year and a half, started as a 6x6 drifter but who am I kidding, I'm a crawler at heart! It's mostly a stock looking Tamiya 1/14 semi but there are many subtle changes and modifications that make it work surprisingly well. I'm tired of seeing all the out of proportion 6x6 projects with monster tires and hacked bodies, thought I'd add something fresh to the mix. It was a mad thrash to get it together for Montana but it was worth it, almost didn't bring it but I'm glad I did. Still alot to do before I call it done.    |

Cool rig. Here's my King Hauler/High Lift 6x6. It's much more in proportion than my 6x6 honcho. I got it off a buddy. Not sure who built it. I was just getting ready to start a thread on it to get some suggestions on what else to do with it.  |

Loved watching this rig all weekend dean, and I think there was no shortage of cameras and flashes snapping pics of it. I am sure someone else will have more photos. Never get tired of watching you build and create and glad you brought it, it was a hit for sure. |

I snapped a couple images. Taking pictures was hard to do when I had my eyes locked onto this rig. I was mesmerized when watching it, I think a lot of folks were.     |

Gotta say, one of the cleanest 6x6's I've seen on here.
