Got some more done on the interior yesterday. Even has a cup holder.

Still need some seat belts but we're getting there.

Well, I took her outside to work the bugs out in the front yard yesterday. Got my first scratches out of the way, re-attached the rear driveshaft(forgot to locktite them

), and blew the gears out of the steering servo(out comes the 645, in goes the 7955tg

). All in all I'm pretty happy with the way everything works.

One Beautiful Wreckluse!

The detail is outstanding! Way to go

Oh, Love the steering setup. Going to look into something like that for mine.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I had her out for a bit today. She has a few new scratches to show off.

Oh well, I guess it can't stay pretty forever.

. Just need to finish the dash details and some suspension tuning and she's about done. The pics aren't the greatest but they'll have to do till we get a sunny day.

What did you use to get the black balls on the end of the switches?? that tops of the looks

mudman1 · 03-07-2011, 04:46 PM

It's liquid eletrical tape. I just dipped them over and over till I got the size I wanted. It took a couple days but worked out great.

NVUS · 03-17-2011, 10:13 PM

sweet! Im gonna have to steal that idea!!

Ya, I'm thinking that even with a lot of scratches this car is going to look pretty! I wish I had 1/2 your talent. I spend a lot of time starring at mine.
Those are the best looking head lights I've seen so far. Love to know what you used. Found things that work but don't look right.

This is officially my favorite wreckluse!! Awesome work my friend!

infamouse_1 · 03-19-2011, 08:01 AM

Sweet rig

rock addict · 03-19-2011, 08:19 AM

your interior is looking great, I am getting ready to do mine I hope I can get such great results

mudman1 · 03-20-2011, 08:47 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. drywallguy, the headlight buckets are from Scale offroad. He is in Germany but shipping was fast.

drywallguy · 03-20-2011, 07:11 PM

Thanks. They do have some nice lights.

Lopaka · 06-22-2011, 11:22 PM

Nice Wreckluse!!!

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2011, 07:57 AM

I can really appreciate all the work that went into your rig, looks outstanding

. It's almost a shame how much I abuse mine, it'll never be as nice looking as yours, but it's just too much fun!

GREEDY GENIUS · 06-23-2011, 08:45 AM

Ha ha...i like the shifters man,cool.

Onebdgti · 06-24-2011, 08:26 AM

This is a nice wreckluse. That bellcrank for the steering is giving me some ideas for my wreckluse.

The Doc · 06-26-2011, 06:46 PM

So......Where did you get that bell crank idea?? copy cat,

It looks a lot better than seeing the servo out there. Good job on your WreckLuse
