Default 1/10 CXT build

This is not much of a post as I go thread because I have it almost done.

I started with a lucky find, the little CXT body. Some call it 1/10 scale but it's more like 1/12 scale.

Cutting up the chassis to shorten enough for this little body

Recurled the springs to shorten them.

Mock up with the tires that will be used but not these rims. The rims are some drift car wheels I had setting there.

Nice job cleaning up the body and adding the two tone.
Badass truck that will get better with the wheels you got for it.

Great job on the paint, bedcover and choice of rims, I think they will set the build over the top. I just got rid of one of these now your giving me sellers remorse.

Thanks Guys.

Kylar these bodies are very hard to find. The last 3 I've seen went for between $150-$200. The 1/6 scale are a little easier to find but still expensive. I have a brand new in the box 1/6 scale and a used 1/6 scale also, both future projects.

Bayareaaxial I hear ya on the sellers remorse, hope you got good money for it.
