Hi, we are a small diesel performance company called Belfast Performance. We are complete newbs when it comes to RC and currently building our first show truck. Here we will document the build for your viewing pleasure.

Current plan is to build a 2nd gen Dodge Ram Cummins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went on a shopping spree this weekend and picked up a few things..

Axial SCX10 "Trail Honcho" RTR
Two batteries + charger
Tools + toolbox
Paint & supplies

We are using Metallic Green and Outlaw Black for two tone paint scheme.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently the following on order and waiting to come in:

Axial TR Aluminum Upgrade Links Set, 12.3(313mm) Wheel Base for the Axial SCX10. #AX30550
Parma 1/10 '94 Dodge Ram Truck Body PAR10388
Decals

Some of the decals that we ordered:

Rock on!! I thought building up diesel trucks was a sickness, but I guess I found something else to empty my pockets!

Forresto · 11-07-2012, 07:47 PM

I really appreciate the input

Forresto · 11-08-2012, 05:20 PM

no problem. ive got the first rtr honcho they came out with so i could take some pics and figure out how to post them up for you that way you can see what it will look like and were the extra cuts were needed. it will look diff still cause like i said i bought it for the dingo frame but have since cut it 2 inches shorter for another project that im currently working on.

If you can't post them.. if you could email them to me that would help. info (at) belfastllc.com

Whoops, looks like you're going to have to shorten the links up. Can't wait for the final out come looking forward to to some building pics, love Dodge my self, have a 2001 four door Dakota and love it, thinking about doing a Dodge Ram Runner build once I settle in my career.

KryptoniteKummins · 11-08-2012, 08:27 PM

Can't wait to see what you do with this, the color choice looks like it'll be an older model version of my Mega Cab i'm building. More pictures!!

Lucas_Green · 11-08-2012, 09:01 PM

Consider me subscribed!! I'm a Diesel nut myself, where did you order those decals from I would love to order some myself.

ranger4xlt · 11-08-2012, 09:07 PM

Like arctichorse said, you might want to shorten up the wheel base. That is going to be one bad A$$ rig when it's done. Do you have any other plans for the truck?

KryptoniteKummins · 11-08-2012, 09:09 PM

what are you doing for stacks?

I am actually on the look out for a stack. I seen this site: RC Smoke Stacks & Scale Hobby Parts - Scale Stacks

Belfast · 11-08-2012, 09:35 PM

Off to bed, did some more trimming tonight on the body. I am taking my time and its paying off. I will tell you for my first time its a PITA.

I have a lot of respect for everyone on here

.. I am not even doing anything major here.. like welding up frames, etc).

arctichorse · 11-08-2012, 10:35 PM

Here you go bud, these might help, the Dodge body looks like it's a 11.4" or close to it wheel base, do a measurement before hand, if you're not to savy with fabricating for RC stuff yet, this should help a bit. ;)

FYI, this website is like crack, once you buy from it you'll never stop ordering from it.
