Hello rc addicts! I'm doing my first scratch build, I'm going with the Dodge power ram 1987-88 style body because simply...I love em. Hope you guys enjoy the process and any input positive or negative is accepted and encouraged!
Let's do this!

Added some bolts for extra weight and balance

Thanks for following along! More to come soon!
