I received the Dash and seat from Noob. I then reinforced the dash/seat wirth styrene and boxed it all in. I made most of the 3d peices but used rpp guages and some axial interior peices.

Rolling Frame! I cannot beleive how the ute chassis rusted under that tarp in my back yard. I didn't think alluminum rusted???? This is all mocked up currently and there will be changes made to the final panhard, and leaf mounts. To run my new delrin leafs I am in the process of making pearches and ubolts. Finished dull coat and detailed cab/bed Lipo storage |

Are you using junfac driveshafts? I have them, I have broken 2 pins already and have only had a few hours if runtime on them. May wanna stock up or find stronger ones. Trucks lookin good I like the detail on the body and the hidden compartment for electronicsmunder the seat!! Very nice |

| Thank you Practice You can do it! Quote:
I have an arsenal of steel springs but this is like everything we do....trial and error. I ordered these from a company in Germany and was refered by a fella on scale4x4 named greasypete. They are the exact demensions of the bruiser steel springs including the arc. Once I get some runtime I will report on there performance. If they perform as well as there are made we might have a winner! | |

The size is very nice amd small and also it's steel so they should hold uo, I might look into those pins, is that the guy in the vendors section makin them outta the piano wire or something like that?
