I had mocked it up before the shock tower, but I didn't like how much it covered the window. I'm also planning on making the mount removable. I may only use the spare in comps.

Cut a space in the bed to drop it down a little?

The tire scales or to be way larger than that, plus the bed floor is on the rails as is. Or the upper links would be in the way any lower.

Decided to stop being lazy and mounted that steering servo. Used a hand bros mount as inspiration, but had to move it a bit for this truck.





Pushed it as far back as possible to get that drag link tucked in nicely.

I keep getting this weird desire to front motor this thing... I need to just hurry up and finish it though, it's been long enough.

Having the tools and the work space does help, but you would be surprised what you can do with just some basic stuff
