Default Stock F-350 (no Highlift)

hi,

this is my F350. As you can see it is has no body lift and looks more like a stock Ford pick-up.
I wanted to get a realistic look and overall a very scale appearance of the proportions of body and tires

I used
a Highlift Body
a Highlift Frame
a Tamiya Truck 3Speed Trannsmission
TLT-Axles
Highlift Leaf Springs in the Rear
4Link Supension in the Front
Short Shocks
and Tamiya Porsche Cayenne Tires

This is how it should look like...



This is the result









I started with the highlift body that was somehow made for some light-installations.
My father and I developed the electronic that contains all the LEDs (16) and the controllers for it.
It now has every light function you can find in a car. From headlights to turning lights and breaklights...
These funcions are automatically controlled by the signals of the steering channel and the esc channel. So there is no need for a 4channel radio...









finished the details on the bumpers:








also made a bed cover:

That looks really smart! Well done mate. Any reason for not using Highlift Axles?

Truck's looking good, MH.
@Ryanbored: I think he's using TLT ones because they aren't as wide as the high lift axles, so they give a more stock appearance.

I like it lots. And its probably still more capable than you imagine (well, with better tires at least, lol). You can have a great time without lots of ground clearance.

you should swap out the cap head screws holding the body on with button head, they'd be more subtle.
also, are there any model of ford f350 that has the color matched side mirror mounts? I didnt think so but could be wrong.

good job overall.
