Weapon's Hilux truggy
 
well I had these parts sitting doing nothing.

going to lower it as soon as I find some SCX-10 shocks.
and it will have 1.5 rock stompers on it.

Lots of progress tonight
New axial shocks installed
Links sorted out
Body mounting finished
1.55s swapped from the camper (its getting the new white spokes and new stompers)

Still figuring out the wiring and battery mount
I will probably use the space under the fuel cell for some electronics and box it in with styrene
also need to figure out a good mount for the offroad lights still
I cant decide if I care about the huge gap between the cab and the "truggy back"

Well after making links and fiddling with wheelbase I decided I was too invested so I filled in the gap instead. .

this should almost disappear once the truck is painted, but I may have to straighten the vertical bars so it doesnt look weird
