The Crocodile Hunter
 

This winter is taking too long to end...so to keep me from going crazy I picked this up.

I’ve had this sitting on the shelf for a while. The mst axles will fit perfect.

Can't wait to see this. I'm doing the same body with the MST CMX axles as well.

Made some progress today.

All the kit components are put together. I put on a chassis mount servo from shapeways, some eBay shock mounts, and internal spring shocks. I didn’t like how the mst shocks mount on top of the axle, so I used the control arm mount.

I also made lower control arm mounts.

Bent up a track bar to clear everything.

So now the front axle is pretty much set, on to the rear.

Very cool build! Wheels and tires look spot-on with that body.

Re: The Crocodile Hunter
 

Cool build, but I so have something you need, haha...

Re: The Crocodile Hunter
 

Nice little build so far! That croc in the flower bed is bigger than the truck...;-)

Re: The Crocodile Hunter
 

That croc was on the tv show. Big as a kayak lol!
