Well,we got the driver in lastnight and that's pretty much it,except just waiting on lights and decals for interior.

Here's couple in the house shots,next is out on the rocks,post more pics later.






Just when i thought i could relax,my boy is now collecting parts for this build,should be SICK!!...look for it in the future

I'm gunna be the nice dad i am and give him my brand new mayhems for this build,they go with the scheme perfectly!

Added a roof rack and took off the light rack


I also changed all for shocks,the hot racing shocks look so scale but performed like crap!..i had a brand new set of losi shocks with medium springs,so much better?

Well being that today was turkey day i didn't do much of any work to her but here's pics of the new painted tube and body panels...



Some pics of some new goodies going into to the new look,had to ditch the cheezy RC4WD tranny and put in the axial with all new metal gears and think there will be a new driver..

It is the newbright body. Can buy the toy truck for like $50 at wal-mart or other stores. They are usually on ebay too but they are usually very spendy. There is the Nikko one too but since they went out of business they are really hard to find.
