Picked up one of these to make a scale tow rig. Ordered a bunch of Powershift Rc stuff for it to. Can't wait to start building it up.

What size are the wheels tires, Id, Od?

Glad to see a third F450 here! Excited to see where you take this. Might give me some ideas too, I’m kind of lost on what I want to do to my F450.

Got my first little mod. Added the fifth wheel mount for when I get my gooseneck trailer. Looking at one like this.

As sweet as this is, I'm amazed by your garage. I swear For a second I thought the first pic was taken sitting on a table in a full size bay. Great lighting too.

Got a bunch of Powershift Rc parts today. All the parts I ordered we're the ETLS bed tool box, lighted mirrors, Fab Four style front and rear bumpers, head and tail light kit, fender armor, headache rack and Cms/servo winch mount. Got the bumpers, mirrors, tool box and headache rack installed so far. Need to install the fender armor and remove paint from the head and taillight area than install the light housingsand wire it all to the ETLS tool box.

Got the Powershift Rc fender armor on tonight. Looks pretty good. I think it will go pretty good with the wheel and tire combo I'm thinking of going with.

Ballistic17 · 10-18-2022, 07:55 PM

New wheels and tires are on the F450. Went with Pro-Line'Racing Carbines and Pitbull Braven Berserker's. Definitely makes the F450 look pretty good.

Ballistic17 · 11-14-2022, 06:43 PM

Got a set of Crawlers N Customs billit alum lower links. Gonna look pretty good once installed.

Look'n great Ballistic! I need to get mine back out and tinker a bit.

So many projects, so little time...

Keep the updates coming!

Thanks. I'm the same way. To many projects. LOL. I just got the head and tail light areas clean of paint. Not have to mount up the Powershift Rc light kit.

Finally finished up installing the Powershift Rc technologies light kit. Also went with fog lights in the front bumper and lights in the headache rack.

Looks great with all the lighting, I can even hear the diesel rattle in my head.

Ballistic17 · 10-08-2023, 10:55 AM

Finally got my Powershift Rc servo/winch mount installed. Had to change the drag link to one that was a bit shorter. The drag link hits a little on the stock servo horn but I think changing it to a smaller one should give it more room.

Gula · 10-09-2023, 09:51 PM

It would have been neat if you could do a drop bed, or whole hardbody for that gooseneck trailer.

OSRC · 10-10-2023, 06:03 AM

That is looking great! Looks like it was made for towing.

Such a cool truck, surprised there's no more on here.
