Default F350 truggy (fresh paint pics!)

i didnt take too many photos of this build as i did it over a long time but with
big whacks..

i got a basket case from c0bra.
had some goodies but needed some tlc as do most baskets..
i got the roller together


got a ford body some rims from a buddy. ford had seen better days..


decent flex, im used to my xr10 and my mrc so i wasnt sure if this was enough
at first..


after being a roller for two weeks i finally was able to start some tube work.
had to make a mount for the rc4wd winch.



wasnt sure about the doved tail and pinched nose..
i was in for a truggy. this is my first build on a scaler so i wanted something
tough looking.. i guess..


finally got it finished at 2am the night before the run at cargill here in minot.


had soooo much fun i took only this one pic!


5 minutes in i took a noser into a pudding puddle! the cage wasnt even
dry yet haha!
time for a bath!


before we went home i had to flex out the ol 1:1

thanks!
i like em a bunch. they clear mud and sticky dirt pretty well.
a buddy shaved down the inner ribs on his and they are way softer.
i was thinking of doing the same or maybe just star cutting my foams..
