project "sasquatch" (a k2-3l courier build)

[sods]

well, I've been collecting parts for this for awhile now
and I've wanted to do a 1.9er so here we go......

specs
ford courier body
k2-3l chassis
dinky rc "dinky links"
tlt axles
pede trans
55t integy
trail dr xl's
645's for steering and winch duty
not sure on the rest of the electronics.

things left to do bumpers, lights, and other assorted scale goodies.
might try my hand at an interior, have to wait on that till the bodies
mounted to see what kinda room I'll have. still have aways to go before
that stuff. here's some pics of what I've gotten done so far.
let me know what you think

Nice job on the build, I dig the shock mounts. I just picked up a set for my new build

[ElChupacabra]

Nice!

Are you guys running scale at PA State Championships this year? I need to talk with Keith about some details... Assuming he's a good guy to get info from. LOL

[701 Technique]

Looks good so far, I like how you added shock hoops to the K2 chassis.
I wish those Courier bodies were still in production:-(

yeah it has sleek, I needed to build another scaler since I sold
off "nitemare". comp rigs are fun and all, but its more fun to
drive the scalers. hopefully this one won't take as long as
the last one did. I'm gonna try and stick to the original ideas I
have and not make too many changes, lol.

so do I, I got lucky and scored one at a lhs. they had two
buried behind some newer bodies. so they both came home w/
me.

[Toph]

I was also lucky enough to get one that same way, but when I went to paint it I screwed it up big time. But it's looking awesome sofar!

Great job so far!
