wow that build looks great, i like your idea w/ panting different layers different colors so it looks real when it scratches.

That is true it would get hung up on stuff but it does look better in black

Not that you are a people pleaser, but the bumpers look much better in black8). The interior turned out nice"thumbsup". Is that orange and black or red and black? It's difficult to tell.

It wasn't my idea, I read it on here. Finding the right colors was the hard part .

I want this scaler to perform as good has I can.

You can't pleas all the people, so I don't even try :lol:. My 1st thought was black, but if you don't try you don't know.
Thanks, it's red and black.

sweet truck looks good"thumbsup"

Got the shifter done. It's a balloon on a square piece of styeren. I cut a notch in the edge of the square so the balloon would stay on. Drilled a hole in a soft air bb and glued it to the shaft.

Here's my body mounts. I put velcro behind the seat and in front of the dash and on the inside of the door panels.

The interior bucket is bolted to the frame. Then I put velcro on the inside of the body.slide it down and press on the gas tank and hood, stick my finger in the door and squeez the door panel to the body. It worked out slick "thumbsup"

Thanks, I'm getting close to taking it all apart and putting it back together. I want to paint the frame a flaming pink. Just kidding :lol:. But I got to shave some stuff off the axles and put all the right bolts in here and there. Then as I'm putting it back together ,I'll finish the little bit of details I got to do.


And what about Ricky's nutts :|:?

Painted the chassis flatblack like the bumpers.Started fine tuning it as it goes back together.

All the eletronics mount on the cockpit, even the battery. Just plug in the motor and 4 bolts mount the cockpit to the chassis.
