| Project "WTF"
Now that the new shop is set up it is time for a new build. I haven't even touched an R/C since the Scale nats in Montana last year, so I have been dying to start something new. And no its not a Chevy Watching Extreme 4x4 on spike has known to spawn an idea or two in my head (the truggy I built was inspired by the green S10 Ian built) I have been a big fan of the Sami he built, and although its not a Sami, It is the inspiration for the start of this build. Starting with a fresh Pajero body I picked up from Kaetwo. Next came the masking tape, I couldn't possibly be painting already could I? Here we go... Then I borrowed the truggy for a minute to get an idea if I just waisted a new body or not... I'm not sure exactly what i'm doing for running gear yet, I had originally thought that Axial axles would be to wide, but with the narrowed hexes It doesnt look that bad IMO. the truggy is currently at a 10.5 wb, I probably will build this truck at 11 even. I have a SCX-10 as well as a bunch of RC4wd parts on the way from RPP as we speak, I'll make the decision of what exactly I am going to do when it gets here.. there is an r2 and a transfer case that might make its way in this build coming too... I have a few chassis options as well.... |

I think it looks perfect sitting on the truggy frame! Either way, whatever you come up with, this is going to be a really cool build. |

that looks awesome! you KNOW I love it, lol...anytime someone cuts up a body is a good thing in my book, lol. Its amazing how a little (or a lot) of bodywork changes the attitude of the little 'jero...grrrr. we'll see you in montana... [edit: save the back scrap. it'll make a nice addition to a longbed pajero pickup build, lol] |
