Nissan baja inspired rock racer
 

So I dont see many nissan trucks for builds, so this is going to be my scale version. I like the older vintage style hardbody nissans but it has to be plenty capable. Here are pics for inspiration and my start.

I think I am going to change to the powerstroke shocks but we will see.

cool start "thumbsup"

Dude!!! That totally reminds me of going to see stadium trucks when I was a kid!! Ivan Stewart and Mickey Thompson ruled!!! I remember painting my first rc truck that color, it was an old tyco bandit. Love those old cheap rc's!!! Awesome truck!!!

Thats funny you say that, I had the tyco baja bandit and drove it till a wheel fell off. :lmao:Mixing some old with new.

:shock:I dont think those 80s are going to give you the performance you want Anthony. haha

anyway ill be watching this build progress. hopefully you and I can get finished around the same time we can go out for some test and tunes

Yea thats why I said I may end up going back to the powerstroke dual springs. I am still undecided on wheels and tires. I am really leaning towards these wheels though.
