Hmmm. Absolutally no styrene at all? do you have a hobbyshop? They should have it.. it's very common... I'm not sure what else. Maybe a polyester glaze puddy? The stuff fo very fine body fillar on cars... Not sure though. The build looks great though. |

Are those Hummer tires on it? If they are could you get a measurement of how tall they are? The truck looks great. |

I agree it's a good looking truck. I do have one concern though, the chassis looks sort of bowed in the second photo. It may be a photographic trick and be fine, but figured i'd mention it anyway, just in case.

excellent work there man! you have a very clean build so far, i really like how you have everything. however, i think you should swap your electronice to the back and batt to the front. this way alot of the weight is on the front axle, which helps climbing out alot. also for the styrene, you should check out "evergreen" and plastruct adhesive. i really like that combo. cant wait to see where you take this truck. also you should put a skidplate on the underside so you dont get hungup.

looks sweet! i like the way you got everything organised and clean but you might want to put the batt in the front and cover the electronics so you could water proof them

Why not just bondo the the hood? If you sand in smooth with real fine sand paper,prime it and sand again with fine sand paper it should work fine. Its not a hole right just an indent? Any ways the chassis looks great! should look awsome when its all painted. You may have mentioned it but what color are you guna paint it?

the bondo shrinks and on this scale its noticeable, also the less bondo the better. fill it with as much plastic as possible then putty over it.

i guess you could use the epoxy putty, and block sand it smooth? and auto primer is good too.
