Default The Diesel Ford

well figure il post the ford up since i cant sleep. i picked up this chassis on RCC for a 1.55 rig to do some scale runs with. and well as you would expect when it showed up it needed a bit of love. so i stripped it down and did a ground up
as it was a chassis only i had to ad a drive and power train
the body was pretty beat up cracked all over and like 8 ectra holes in the hood that i didnt want
as she sits.
VP currie axles with sd300 from axles and locker, supershafty chromo locker out back
rc4wd drive shafts running to a RR metal geared trans with stock length supershafy out puts to a 32 pitch spur/pinion
mated to a holmes hobbies 35t brushed motor
holmes BRXL running off a 4pl rx, hey ok winch controller running a 3racing winch with 300lb test and locked up rc tow straps. rc4wd shocks with gear head shock relocators
body is a blackfoot hardbody that has been painted a tri coat pearl white, chassis is an all metal truggy on an scx chassis painted black with a house of colors blue pearl

wheels are gear head 8 bolts ( it is a diesel remember) with 1.55 pitbull growlers and CI foams

Next on the list a full light kit and interior as well as a smoke machine to get the coal rolling

now the pics start to present

It's a thin layer of water ontop of the ice on the creek bed made for a great reflection shot
