it's almost finished just some few details not putting alot of money into this cause i am broke ,i didn't have an esc so today while reading some of the threads on here i found that i can make my e-savage esc work by shorting out the wires to the second battery so now i have an esc ,tomorrow i am going to paint the willy's driver and do a little more welding and should be a runner .thanks for all the comments.i did paint it but not too crazy on the color it looks like ford blue ,i heard of people putting chevy motors into fords but not ford paint on a chevy .anyhoo it's a beater truck and i do have a brand new body for it.pics will be up tomorrow i mean today.time for bed . happy new years.
