Default Project Unknown

ok well upon dismantling the blazer i started a rebuild. unfortunatly i am very unsure as to what direction to take it. i want to do a really scale truck but i want something i can beat on too. i have built several trucks and i have gotten to the point that none of the available bodies really interest me. however a homemade one-off body wont be basher freindly. well as undesisive as i am i started anyway. i finnished up the front suspension, three link with panhard, coil, shock setup. rear will be leafed















right know i am contemplating another blazer, or tamiya fj40, or possibly a tubed out M-137

With the suspension you got so far it would be right for a post 93' dodge ram. You don't see many of them around as RC's

Sounds like it will be another great project from you! I think a Ram would be sick too.

What about a chevy hardbody. They are hard to find but like a monster patrol body with scale fenders and wheel wells. Thatd be awesome.

i would love to try the ram but locating a body or base body to build from would be difficult. i am also contemplating a bronco II by chopping up a clod body and a lot of styrene work. really liking the hobart m-37 from this years ultimate adventure though........ i added some body mounts to the frame like a 1:1. it will have a scale small body lift/bushings. unfortunatly i forgot the camera so pics will have to wait. doing possible body research now..........
