Here are the updated pics. I mounted up a emaxx tranny for pulling power and mounted the electronics up front. It is ust about done, for now. Some flex shots. Then the 2 rigs together. The next project it to build a trailer to tow the comp rig on. |

Great looking scale rig! I have been thinking about making one also. What are the benefits of that rear shock set-up over what you did in the front?

Thanks guys! The angled rear shocks give a better suspension geometry, while keeping the scale look. I have seen real trucks with shocks this way but never seen any with the front shocks mounted like that. As for the body I think Im going to do the lara croft paint jod with the silver body and the black fenders.

The axles C's came in yestorday, and the fropnt half of the truck is finished. Just have to finished the rear half and I post up some pics of it completely finished. If there is enough interest in the frame i might consider making a few more of them.
