I bet it was a PITA trying to get those all perfectly aligned. Looks cool though. Loving this build.

Yep, going to try that idea first. Should work just fine.


Thanks everyone! Glad you're all enjoying the build.



A small update. Working on 3 builds at once over here (as usual).

Inner fenders made and installed.


It will get dressed up with tons of RC4WD goodies.


Custom paint ordered

Let's see, where did I leave off?

Engine detailed and radiator mounted


GCM battery tray. I'll be able to swap batteries and leave the body hard mounted. Success!


And something I'm very happy about. RC4WD cast K44's. Greet. So greet.

Didn't your momma tell you not to use lift blocks on your front axle? You're gonna hurt your (scale) self.

Just kidding, looks greet man.

Everyone at the mall told me it was a good idea to run lift blocks up front. Should I have used pressure treated 4x4s instead?

Sorry sir, my bad. Must be one of those old wives tales.

4x4's on your 4x4? Sounds mathematically possible, would that make it an 8x8 or 16x16 or... wait a minute, I'm confused now.

The battery tray was a great idea. Are you going to do three rows of seats?
