Default F-150 Trail Rig

hoping to finish this in the next week or two.

decided to go with the sand scorcher trans









should i do a flatbed or regular truck look?

I vote for the regular truck bed. I have never been a fan of the flatbeds. IMO that makes it look more like a work truck that should be carrying building materials!

Imo bad trans choice. It'll break in 2 seconds. Go trade it for a stealth or R2. Anybody who is into vintage Tamiya RC will happily do it.
