F-350 Harley Davidson Edition

[Ax-10Canadian]

Hey guys, well when my highlift gets in this is what I will be building as a tow rig.



Im going to leave it as a reg cab long box because I like the look better. Now just need to find some sutable decals to get the build going.
Right now Im looking for a good tire and rim combo. I was thinking these.





I will use the stock highlift and lower the body (any tips??). I would like to run 1.9's but I can only find a close tire/rim in 2.2.

Have you looked at the stock Highlift Hilux wheels?

Have David at extreme rc hobbies narrow and make those into 1.9's He narrowed mine to fit these wheels for me on my truck

[Ax-10Canadian]

I think might go with the hilux wheels, they look close to the real ones and there 1.9's which means I can lower the body a bit.

[Ax-10Canadian]

Well I finally got a hilift coming from TCS and it should be here in the next few weeks. I think for now I will go with hilift hilux rims and tires for the scale look. Im working on the decal right now and so farI have the side and tailgate emblems ready to print and im working on the rocker badge.



Mods, can you move this into the 1.9 section please.

Got the door badge made up today as well. I dont know if red is the final color yet.

And what about that killer bumper?!

[Ax-10Canadian]

Look what Finally showed up yestorday!!



Thanks TCS!! Did some building last night and working on somemore today.



The Tranny IMO is a work of art.

Finished the chassis tonight. The kit went together really well and was surprisingly easy to build.











I also printed out the decals. They are perfectly replicated to the correct size.

anyone thought of putting the axles over the leaf springs instead of under. This could give it more of a scale appearance with the wheel properly in the wheel well...

[Ax-10Canadian]

I tried, the axles doesn't clear anything. But taking the blocks out from under the leafs will help.

Did somemore work to it today. Dropped in a Novak Goat system, moved the battery under the bed, and put the steering servo up front.













Made up a nice 7 cell.

[Ax-10Canadian]

Just sprayed the first coat of tamiya bright orange on the cab and bed.

[Ax-10Canadian]

Well its been a long time coming, but its finally got the base paint job down. Now its the fine detail work.

[Georgerm]

That is some hot paint.

[outcastrc]

Now thats looking sharp!!!

[Ax-10Canadian]

Thanks guys! Mounted up the front grill and bumper and this was my reaction . Have to run out and get somemore paint and some clearcoat. Its all starting to come together.

[Ax-10Canadian]

Its all in the details...

[clod & bruiser]

that looks great! you should have done the powerstroke emblem in black...but other than that it's dead on!

[Ax-10Canadian]

Actually the Powerstroke emblem is supposed to be red, but thanks
