Damn you!!!! I want one of these bodies so bad!!!!

As far as radio recomendations... With no budget, Futaba all the way.

For under 100 bucks you could find yourself a used Spektrum DX3E with a rx I bet. Only downfall is its good for one model only.

For bumpers hit up MG300. He will build you some sick stuff man. His work is amazing and you will not be dissatisfied.

Super cool looking rig!! What's your wheelbase at? As for the tube work, it's MG200 not 300, lol. I agree with WILDMAN442, Trenton does some sick bending and welding! Shoot him a PM and if you have specs for what you want, he can make it. I'll be watching this build, love the 4 door!!

This thing is gonna be sweet. Only recomendation I have is either futaba for the radio and rx and I really like the savox servos.. I'm purchaseing the 416oz as we speak. As for an adjustment I would move the front tires fwd just a touch... they look slightly behind center. Just my .02 but l think this rigs gonna be badass when finished keep us updated bro!

personally this is waht id put on it elctoncis' wise a traxxas xl-5 speed control a savox sc-0251 servo a 35 or 45 turn motor and a futaba 4pl radio system good stuff the only expensive part is the radio and then you hve 2 spare channel's for whinche or wahtever else. really liking the truck so far waht axle's are under it and what is the full wheelbase of it thank's zach.

Got any updates???? I'm dying to see what you've done with it!




P.S.
If you ever sell it, I'd totally buy it back from you. Must be a case of sellers remorse.
