Nice rig. Did you have any trouble mounting the Pit Bulls on the Stamped RC4WD wheels? I have the older version and they wont mount up... I know you can use pvc pipe to make it hold, just wondering if the newer wheels mount right up? Thanks Scott |

They are a pain but they will go on there with a little patience. I put the tires in the freezer for about 20 mins before mounting them. This will make the rubber a little stiffer which will help mounting them.

One more update before I finish it up and send it home! As it sits right now, it weighs in at 3.8lbs!  I think it should end up is the 5lb. range when Hugo gets it all done. Pretty light!      |

| Feel very honoured
I just had to post up here and tell you guys, that I feel very VERY honoured to have a rig I built be recreated as a scale replica (correct lingo?). With comments like "the tubing is simple and yet intricate", I feel like you guys - Hugo and others - are, by deconstructing the rig via my built thread, really getting to the soul of what my original vision was. I guess you guys, as replica builders, really understand that simple in execution is in truth utterly complex in design... I'm really at a loss for words, especially seeing the tube work turning out so true to the actual 1:1 rig. It's utterly fantastic so far. Keep it up guys, I'll be watching  |

Glad you liked it Corey, I will do my best to make you proud! Shon (welder) already killed it with his tube work but that is his standard! Stay tuned, more to come! |
