So i finally got to a point with this rig where i wanted to just drive it. ill save all the super extravagant stuff for my other DATSUN that Matt @ DinkyRc is building.

managed to get the exterior body trim and details painted. Also managed to find time to work on the suspension some and got the beadlock rings on all 4 tires.

I still need to pull the interior out and finish it. probably do that this week.





Decided to take it out in this nasty breakup terrain we have outside just to give it the once over. Quite the mess outside but i had some fun.

The first truck I ever drove was a Datsun great build, where did you score that canoe?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but Im just starting a build with this body and I love this truck! I thought it was a small 1:10 scale, its actually 1:12? Didnt know that. Which axles did you use?

[brianw]

May I suggest reading, rather than just looking at all the pics?

See post #1 for your answer
