Started out with a G6 kit and Dynamic Concepts narrowed EB body in styrene. Tube work is mostly solid 3/16" with a bit of DOM here and there so it doesn't become too big of a pig.

The eb body looks great with some 1.9s under it. Usually see wide gaudie 2.2s under em wb and tire size is very appropriatly done. Nice job shon! Whats the plans on the interior? |

I did a quick interior just to get it ready, but I did get a steel dash welded in. Most likely it will be a mix of styrene and RC4WD aluminum diamond plate. Quote:

| Re: R2J Kustoms SWSC C2 EB.... Couple of pics of the dash and the front stinger/winch mount.   It performed as well as a new untested rig would and for someone that hasn't driven in a year  Definitely needs some tuning, but in all I'm very happy with how it did. One of the changes being made is the trans and ESC/motor combo. I was lucky enough to win a Super Shafty bomb proof trans in the give away Saturday night, so along with that I ordered up a Mamba Max Pro and a Tekin 3300kV Pro4.Last edited by R2j; 04-30-2014 at 09:50 AM. |

| Re: R2J Kustoms SWSC C2 EB....
I really like this rig. I like all the steel work, super clean looking. It was great meeting you, good to put a face with the name. We were in the same boat, I was building mine up until I left and even Friday afternoon was scabbing in the interior. Wasn't really sure how the Tundra would work and then throw some snow at it, made for an interesting first big comp. Looking forward to the next one. |

What ever happened with this rig? Probably one of my favorite DC body builds and I never saw it finished. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

A R2J build has been well overdue.... Hell I just saw a post from DoubleJ. Maybe there is hope for the board... |

That's an awesome start! What brand are the scale hubs that you're using? |
