| 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 Last edited by elsewhere; 05-29-2012 at 10:01 PM. |

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.. |
