Continued: Here are a efw more pics from the mock up stage. Looks cool, but there's a lot more to do!    The interior should be pretty sweet once it's all detailed.  Starting on the front tube work. The body is so delicate that any rough contact with rock will destroy it. Full tubing is going to be important!  Ryan |

That thing is wicked, man. I love those wheels on the truck, it's a perfect fit, looks very ex-miltary.

Very cool man. I think the build would be cool, but the wheels and tires just push it over the edge. If there was ever a total package, this is it.

Thanks a bunch people! I've decided to send all the tube stuff I have (Courier, This truck, 1/6 Jeep) off to the powder coater. I'm tired of paint chipping off brakeline, and I've never had any of my stuff 'coated. Should be neat, and it'll fill some of my crappy welds.  Ryan |

Its just not fare. These darn scale rigs look fantastic. They inspire me to make one so much, only to realise that when I sit down to figure the whole build process out, i end up having a panic attack. So its with realising this that I have to take my hat off to you Ryan and all you other guys out there and CONGRATULATE you all on building such fantastic custom rigs. JUST PLEASE PROMISE TO PM ME if you decide to build to order  |

You never know what the Mythbusters may build for one of their projects. Apparently that guy likes to build full-scale RC's just for testing.  | |

Just picked up an older Losi tranny with universals. If I can get it attached to the TLT axels, I am going to have to give a scale build a try. Truly inspiring build as are all of the quality scale rigs.

Man all it's missing now is some steal knife spinners that stick out like in MADMAX and maybe a few guns mounted. Great build man!

Thanks! No brazing here- 3/16 brakeline MIG welded, as well as some smaller diameter piano wire. Ryan |
