Default power wagon build

I started a build a while ago with the frame I made. I originally planned on using a dodge ram body, but the power wagon fit way better. And of course, after I paint the body and everything, a bunch of power wagon builds pop up.








I still have a lot left to do. Mostly little things like make bumpers, rock sliders, mount the electronics, etc. Let me know what you guys think.

what frame is that? I am guessing home made? looks good. The narrowed tires go awesome with the rest of the truck. Nice work for sure

read the TEXT n00b , not just the pics, first sentence.

Nice build man, looks super scale, I love the PW body and the reduced 1.9's. Great work

The frame is homemade. I made the plans and my dad cut it out on the water jet at his work. Then I put it all together at home.
The tires are actually not reduced, just narrowed. I cut and glued the bead from 1.9 tires onto the 2.2's.

Im liking the outcome so far. Not bad for my second build and for being 15, If I do say so myself.

I like it. I don't even much care for PW's and I like it. Is there some reason for not mounting the steering servo in between the frame rails? Sorry if that is a dumb question but I am new to this. The wheels fit very nice. I wonder what a PW would look like without the back windows and more bed?

i mounted the servo outside the frame rails so I could have a longer steering link. The longer link helps keep reduce bump steer. In fact, It doesnt have any bumpsteer through articulation, only when the axle is at full droop.
