|  Nothing to see here...
This is by far my favorite build I've started to date. I need to throw a shout out to my buddy GIjoe for my inspiration on this build. We bounce ideas off of each other all the time and my mind never quits he sent me a photo of a model he built years ago  It's totally sparked my inspiration. And after several Google searches I came up with several ideas  This is the final inspection. So I scoured ebay for a body and came up with this.  The dimensions are kind of small but I can make do.  Ahhh... a fresh new body. Let's hack it up!  Now let's add some metal    It's taken several attempts to get some of these bends just right.    This cage work should make building the interior much easier, and it's a 2 row metal cage. So it adds some points also.  This motor is larger than I remembered. LOL some adjustments are in order.  Some bouncer styling later and presto!   Now I am gonna pick up a O.G. bruiser frame and see how much "customization" it'll need. This is awesome.

That's awesome, looking forward to the finished racer, x2 on the tube work. Is that a McAllister body?

Did you consider moving the motor back? IMO the motor is too far forward and up to be "scale". I dig the cage work, but the devil is in the details. |

Team Blue Groove has a similar body with a 280mm wheelbase and 220 track width for the HPI Super RS4. I think it's a ferd.

| Re: Nothing to see here...  I managed to quick cut heat and bend the frame up and out of the way of the rear tires, tomorrow I'll clean it all up But I did achieve the tucked look into was trying for.  Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

So it's tomorrow and like promised I cleaned up my rush work from yesterday and managed to fill some holes in the frame along the way.  Next on the punch list is to get the axles build and get the rc4wd R4 transmission and GCM LRT2 transfer case. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |
