This thang is coming together nice.

Siggy · 06-07-2010, 01:42 PM

I like the interior, all the scale stuff, and the attention to details. Very Nicely Executed!

waaaaaaay different that lexan bodied rigs fo sho!!

i have a very small clip of video that i'll post up in a few.

a cupple things about this place. it's VERY limited to any type of scale terrain. i mostly go there to test things with my comp rig.

and the worst is what i found out there today..

i believe that's an altoids can

those guys were in a spot that had the best rock for some scale action but i wasn't gonna go anywhere near them.

Damn-nation Ric, this is one bad ass build.

Great work on the details and nice work from R2J on the "tube". I'd vote for it.

Great build, detailed and very clean. Gonna have to copy that sawzall idea.

crunky · 06-08-2010, 06:12 PM

those outside shots are killer.
nice truggy dude !!!!

R2j · 06-09-2010, 09:05 AM

Bumper is done! Just have to put the finishing touches on the towers, then they're off to TX.

I don't think the postman will be able to F-up anything this time!

Those outside pics are stellar! Next time bring a can of bee killer, spray and run like hell!

Benzbuildr · 06-09-2010, 09:48 AM

Sweet, It's time for another update.

great news!! can't wait to see your work when it gets here!

i was given the idea of strapping a camera to the truck and drive right into the nest. may be doable. i did something like that with a water snake.

the "lugs" are the original hardware form the locks. the stainless came from mayhem. i had a lot leftover from some 1.9 wheels that i got from him.

cb just about done. all i need are the power and coax cable out back.

BOWTIE · 06-09-2010, 03:45 PM

cb mounted and wired..

i gave the dash a little more depth with some bezels from rpp.

all it needs now are some drivers and i can call the interior done.
