nice yoder! I was wondering if you've tried mounting the boggers to the tango down rims? I was looking into some boggers for my tangos but i'm not sure if they'll fit. I mean they're both 1.9s but sometimes the rubber thickness makes it a pain in the arse. Plus i think boggers on tangos would look sick as fudge. |

i think it might look pretty cool if you cut the axial fenders so they are flat fenders

I just finished flipping through all your past builds on this thread... That looks like a ton of fun for sure! I can't wait to go down to the slab... I will be there this weekend pending NO RAIN... What exit do you take to get to the location up at Sno Pass? |

I like the new look. The silver paint with the black hood and flares POP!!! I don't know about any Comp rules as I am a "recreational rc scaler" but, couldn't you have used these flares??? http://store.rc4wd.com/Heavy-Duty-Fe...dy-_p_336.html Not sure if I may be asking a dumb question... But at least they're made for the Yota body and no cutting would be necessary... Nonetheless, your build and rebuilds have been Awesome to read up on for a "noobie" like me...

I got my flash points mounted up and got a bit more done on the rear tube work. Man, I am digging the flat bed look. BTW, I got to give some credit to pardonmyn00b's hilux flatbed build, and rbgerrish's Dorkstar Toyota build...truly inspiring. |

Hey man, that's a sick build! Love the beginning of the flat bed, you always build clean looking trucks. |

Got a rear light and shackle mount done. Not too pretty but it braces it. Also mounted my license plate holder. Got it from RPP, but just FYI, it doesn't come with the mounting hardware like shown on the website. BTW, it fits Rockpiles plates perfectly.:cheers: http://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/levpl-01.htm Held in with a counter sunk bolt taped into some square stock. And just for fun, I wanted to see what the Double Trouble dually rims looked like underneth the bed. Not bad, I have another truck I will be build soon, it will be a 2dr f350 mall crusier/flatbed tow truck with possible goose neck. http://store.rc4wd.com/Double-Troubl...ls_p_1214.html |

The latest Hilux with flatbed that you're building has inspired me to do a Hilux flatbed aswell! What lower links are they exactly? |

The links are Axial's AX10 HI-CLEARANCE machined links. Be careful, some adjusting is needed to run those in a scx10, due to them contacting the top 4-links. Axial Machined Hi-Clearance Link Green (2) | |

Did some wiring tonight, enough to drive it around the garage floor(I haven't drove this truck for almost a year..lol). Still have to spend some time cleaning up the wiring and some what water proofing the electronics. Short video, turns pretty good, mostly due to the Axial under-drive(rear) and over-drive(Front) gears in the axles. WARCRC :: VIDEO0444.mp4 video by justinart24 - Photobucket Made some inner fender wells. Switch on the left is to turn off the winch, so it doesn't drift (Saw Wheelnjp aka Sean do this a while back). Switch on the right is for the ESC. Pretty tight fit with the body, hope it helps keep mud out. Bit of a mess, but I will make it look prrrrrretty. I use RC4WD winch line, works pretty well and I also use the RC4WD king kong hook and RC4WD fairlead. I also swapped in a Robitronic Aluminum Servo Arm. |
