Whats up guys  .Well i figured i would put a truck together for my dad as a Christmas present. nothing to special, just a F-350. i didnt get a chance to take a pic of it when i got it in the mail. this is what i started with, a green body. A i put a few coats of gloss black on it tonight.  my buddy Justin gave me a hand taring down the chassis while i was painting.  this is what i got left with at the end of the night.  Tomarrow i will be finishing up the body, and lock the front axle. The plans for this thing R2 Tranny those red leaf springs from rc4wd crushers novak 55 novak rooster crawler esc i will get more detailed on the build tomarrow, thanks for looking  |

ok guys heres an up date tore down the front axle, it was making a hell of a lot of noise. little bit of greese did the job.  since i had the diff cover off, i trimed it a little. and then hit it with flat black   then it was on to the leafs, im only going to run one leaf set up on this truck. and they were all bent out of shape  after a lil bending back  and lastly, got some coats of paint on the body. it looks like crap  and some poser shots    thanks for the comments and looking guys |

Thats pretty cool of you dude. I really want to build my dad a Wrekluse so he and I can crawl some tubers together seeing as how he can't wheel 1:1's any more.
