I do too, have been waiting for the right set up to build one out of the extra blackfoot body I have. Hopefully I can build it right lol

Finished at least the outside appearance, scalerfab front and rear bumpers, finished installing my IERC sendero sliders. Secured the interior cage and finally mounted the bed cage. Tossed a few stickers on too for S&G. Now need to swap in new servo, brass c-hubs and aluminum knuckles. Also pick up a brass diff cover







As for other projects, I received hardcore rc links for mom's spaghetti with a +10mm in the rear. That should have the wheelbase set right. Just need to build the mini stagedive now.

Also going to build the stock utb18 cage in to a single seat buggy bought another set of
axles already and a capra interior to cut up and fit the driver in. As well as a tech factory racing 22re to replace the fuel cell in the back. Been tossing around the idea of making some metal body panels for it as well.

Debating a chassis swap for my barracho and running leafs in the rear again. Been researching in to that. ��

Also picked up a DeWalt 8v gyro screwdriver and some Traxxas tips. So helpful and definitely get more work done with my time. Super happy that I picked one up.

Almost done with the SE, built up the front axle. Installed Treal c-hubs with GPM aluminum knuckles with Treal brass steering arms. Also did the castor flip. Notched the C-hubs back three splines. Stock the king pins line up with the truss. so moving the king pins back helps give it tons of steering. Do have to flip the steering link on top of the arms to clear upper links and driveshaft interference. Also mount the drag link below the steering arm. I did space it so the drag link was flat and not angled up. I did install a brass diff cover in the rear help with some balance of weight. Finished building the front two tires and wheels. Vented them and installed vanquish dual stage foams in 4.75". Still need to finish doing the same with the rear tires.

Need to buy some paint so I can finish a thought I had over the weekend for styling. More on that later.

Here is my thought to finish off the SE, a late 70's power wagon look. It'll be a mix of paint and decal/ 2mm pinstripe.

I'm going to mix and match, still planning it out in my head. I like the lettering of the first tailgate but the full black coverage of the second one might mix the two which I believe I seen something like that when I was looking for
inspiration.

I did get some tinkering done today too. Put together my son's utb18. Found a 3d printed yota for it in red then tossed my barracho's wheels and tires on it. I'm really digging how it can out. I think I'll get the Toyota grill I found for it to finish the look off.
