The Dinky RC honcho interior is a real good fit for this body. I finished it up last night. I stole the steering wheel, shifters, and window handles from the Wraith kit parts tree. Not too crappy.
I'll get some good outdoor shots this weekend.

Love that Ford body. And the paint is perfect. How rigid are the chassis rails compared to the c-channel stocker? I like that its steel, but my shy away since its flat.

Great build.

Thanks you all. I picked the color because my dad had a 77 F250 with a similar paint job and I've always loved it. I've never seen another truck like it.

As for the frame rails they are very rigid, even more rigid than the stock axial because the steel is thicker. I've bent up some stock rails before so I don't really have anything to lose, I guess.

I had a great opportunity to break the ginger kicker in at Vazquez Rocks yesterday. She performed really well!

Man, this thing is fun to watch. I got it out again today for a local run. It's all scratched up now but I don't mind. I never intended it to be a shelf queen. I'm running a Traxxas ET-3s and Novak 13.5 on 3s. It works great, and the long wheelbase is perfect for my favorite local spot, Rainbow. There's lots of big rocks and steep climbs and this rig sticks real well.

Thanks, Joe! Your 66 wroncho rules!

I just gave the guy who built the bumpers a heads up that they're holding up great. They definitely get abused but nothing is bending, at least not yet.
