Wiring Fun! Pile of electronics that are going into the truck.
All the electronics have to go here: Fitting the BECs between the servo mounts: Close up of the BEC lexan plate: BEC wires snipped and ready to be soldered. Soldered the BECs to the Mini BR-XL and shrink wrapped it Man this is a mess of electronics Installing the rear servo and starting to route the servo wire: Whipped up some BEC bypass adaptors, longer one is for the rear servo: Shortening some BEC wires: Starting to cram everything onto the servo mounts: That's about as much as I was willing to do on it that night, maybe I'll come back and clean it up a bit. |

Looks like I need to do some fender trimming! Rough line of where to cut, I'll have to use something round to get a nice curve! I used a roll of 3M blue tape and made a nice curve: Other side After some dremeling, I cut it close with a cut off wheel and then go back in with a sander attachment to clean it up. Another pic showing what I left Messy work! After some sanding Then I go in and do some fine sanding to get it nice and smooth. I use one of these, Justin hooked me up with a few a while back. Thanks Justin! After a test fit I realized I needed to take off a little more to avoid rubbing. And how it looks on the chassis! |

Headlights optional! Couple more pics of the build the night before the Sunday comp. Big brother next to little brother! Guess I never put on the nuts for the lower links in the front. Good catch at the 11th hour. Some shots showing shock compression on each side. Started a front bumper. Showing my panhard bar and drag link set up. Bodies on and ready for the comp! Side view! Not bad, this truck only ended up being slightly taller than the C1! | |

Thanks, I was happy with the overall wiring. It's not perfect but it accomplished what I wanted it to and I can easily pop out the whole servo mount if I want to. Thanks! It's getting there, I'm working through the drop bed right now. Then this weekend I'll finish up all the brass work. Then interior next week, paint the week after that and then add a few scale items and it is off to Arizona! | |

Needed to whip up some light weight seats Got out the 2mm foam and started cutting the bolsters That should be enough! Scrap foam, I like to always make a straight cut for the straight edge portion of the bolster. Makes cutting them out way easier. Orange foam for the center section. Can you guess which color I'm painting the truck! One piece cut out! Foam cutting complete! One seat assembled! The line up! Two for this truck and two for the C3 truck! |

Mocking up the drop bed: Some detail added and glued together: Need to clean up the edges Working on the roll cage, tube bed: That's as good as it is going to get: Pretty happy with how it turned out! Inner cage pieces bent, cut and taped into place for tacking. Pulled it out and finished soldering it together: Bought this case off amazon, fits the 4 PL pretty nicely. May use it when I travel to Arizona. I bought it for my 4PK to fit the drop wheel. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00 |
