I'm starting a Tundra scaler build and can really appreciate the work you have put into yours. That cab back looks suuuper nice!

incredible work so far! I like how well those Ultimate Yota axles work w/ the Bruiser chassis, it really makes the track width look realistic. I think you showed me how to get past my 'builders block' w/ my Bruiser chassis..

little update but making some progress

so i wasnt really a fan of the belly area so pulled the dremel out and after some filing there was no turning back



and in when a more scale looking drive train - RC4WD's Killer Case









next I got the center console in



got some work done on my wheel wells and engine compartment





got some GREAT seats from Reign .... these things are the best I've seen yet









little fit with the Cobalt 454 in place



did some fender fab .... nothing crazy just a bit widening






got some lessons in welding and bumper work done - lesson 1 dont weld in shorts even if your only using it to tack




no pro on welding but works for getting things into place for brazing later









with room for the winch





well thats it for now ...... lots more to go

Thanks for looking.

So I've had some time in between a couple other projects and figured Id post some updates.

Waiting for a few other things to come together I got the old brakes off


and replaced them with some from TDR Innovations
http://www.tdrcatalog.com/servlet/th...ake-kit/Detail

got them fitted




got my frame back from my sandblaster/powder coating guy but just went with a simple cleaning fora rattle can paint job. (leaves room if I want to touch anything up or change something around )




went with a nice gun metal using, caliper paint from AZ.





and a little mock up with some things



rotors in place .... calipers to follow






interior done


dash together minus gauges and detail things



and the cab almost done





with some overall looks ..... thinking its a bit to tall. its either use Bruiser leafs and lower it or put flat irons on the steelies and leave it. and no ..... Rok Lox are too tall and not my fad for this one.









well thats it for now ..... back on the shelf and into other projects

Thanks for looking.

Wow, that is one nicely detailed rig. You are leaving no stone unturned on this one it appears.

Yeah Im still not sold on the bumper myself too. Looks out of scale for the truck so Im sure itll change at some point.

Thanks Aaron. These axles are super smooth and RC4WD did a great job on the machine work.
