Robotboy's STH Portalled Tucked F250

[Robotboy]

It was time to use the Capra kit leftovers. A work in progress. Picked up the
Spare-Time Hobbies V1W- M2 Chassis, Capra printed parts bundle and the
STH flat capra V3 skid for a stealth trans.




I hit the rails with some flat black.




Gonna mess with body fitment later. A couple of progress pics...

Thanks Lou!

Body cut, trimmed and sitting where I like it. Fitted a MST bumper on the
front, from the JP1 kit. Screwed it to an Element hard plastic bumper mount.
Good fit, almost perfect.

I like! That chassis has always been interesting to me. Looks like a nice setup!

Cool looking chassis rails! Looks like a nice clean build!

The body fits great! Can't wait to see what you decide for paint!

Got it all buttoned up, elects installed.



Went with a Ford pickup 2 tone color scheme. Cherry red and a silver gray.
Came out pretty good, a few mishaps where the masking came loose but I'm
diggin it.

Some posers before the first run. Very impressed with it's ability. Took a short
vid of the first run, I'll get that up later.

That looks good, paint scheme is perfect for the body!

Paint looks great! Looks like a classic F250!

The body sits perfectly on the chassis and looks clean without body clips!

Nice vid of the first run!

A little test run after installing the SSD brass. I have a few little tweaks to do
but so far it's a fun rig
