Default tuff truck

Well got this body in the mail the other day. I had the CGR cage collecting dust right next to the classic K2 chassis. threw some TLT's on it gonna use a pede VXL trans. and a slightly quicker setup for the motor.. the bartos 1.55 wheels look good and I think the crushers have just the right height..




and the look I am going for tuff truck arena truck


rear bumper idea.


Cant wait to take it off some sweet jumps

If you dont want to break the lights, I suggest you take them off. I had them on my Ramcharger CGR and the first time I rolled it the very end one broke off. Looks good though. What electronics are you running?

So should I put them on a shelf and look at them?? I think I will go ahead and chance it. if one breaks off so be it that is life.. I will fix it. I have a one of the waterproof slash ESC's and a 12turn in right now.. I think the servo is a futaba 3305.. And a spectrum RX. Nothing special


got the rear bumper made up. and added a stainless exhaust


tail pipe didnt stay shinny long damn cummins smokes like crazy :p

simple hook up for the sled

well 2 seconds with a google and I found one.


You will find prerunners all day long with roof racks.. quite a few of the west coast tuff truck vids had prerunners running tuff truck.

So now you can say you have seen one..
