My eldest didn't want his SCX so... here's my class 1 build.

So full size pickup or....

Some kinda flatbed?

It's got a full interior and sprung hinged doors.

What ya reckon?

That thing is screaming craZY tube work with a flatbed with wooden bedfloor

i say full pickup with drop bed and polished stacks coming out of the bed.. flatdecks only look good on dually's with a headache rack.

What about a bobbed bed?

Nitro_Geezer_UK · 11-12-2011, 07:37 PM

I decided that as I like the original colour and it would be too hard to match it Im gonna do a flatbed on the rear. I might make it a bit longer and I gotta lift it slightly and lean the rear shocks into the centre

Cool looking rig man!
Im really diggin the flatbed idea. Especially with the wood floor... Very realistic!

The color is awesome too! Keep up the good work!!

I'm sorry but I don't know, it came as a toy rc with flashing lights, music and servo operated doors that open and closed with the music. I'll look inside it later for a makers name.

I was looking at that body in the background of your donk thread.

Anyone got pics of how to mount rear shocks so they dont stick up through the floor and still have some flex?

AX10wannabe · 11-16-2011, 01:53 PM

the only other way is to mount them leaning forward. take a look at eric113's build thread of his honcho especially page 9 as it has a couple good pics of how his shocks are mounted and some flex pics.

nice looking truck. another way to mount the shocks is to dirl small holes in the cross brace in the chassis and mount the shocks there and they will be angled inward, and it gets a good amount of flex and still handles good. i have done it my scx 10 honcho.
