Default CONTEST! New DSPRO Build looking for SWEET style!

Hi there!

I have to build a new Class 3 truck for the NW Scale Championships. I dont have much time to do it, but I have some ideas floating around about how I'd like it to look. I've always enjoyed outside input, so I thought it'd be fun to have a little contest. FOR PRIZES! Here are the rules:

1) Post up pictures of up to 3 vehicle FEATURES that you would like to see incorporated into my new build. (Examples: The front bumper of a Humvee, the taillights from a 1956 Chevy, or the luggage rack from a Honda Trail 90.) These features could be STYLE elements you really like, or just bizarre things you think would be hilarious on a truck.

2) Maximum of 3 pictures per post, per person. (If you post more than 3 pictures, your account will be deleted from RCC and your entire neighborhoods internet shut off.)

3) Pictures should show a FEATURE (part) of a vehicle. If the picture shows the whole thing, the feature in question should be circled or pointed out in some fashion. (Or just described below the pictures if you're lazy) Features can be from ANYTHING that you think looks cool!

3) The top 5 features will be VOTED ON by the RCC community. The winning 5 features will be incorporated into my build, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY ARE! The size, proportions, and use of those features is under my control, and potentially limited by my skill and time constraints!

The submitters of the 5 chosen features will WIN PRIZES! I dont know exactly what yet, but rest assured they will be NEAT!

I will then build the truck and destroy it during the NW Scale Championships! It will run the Class 3 comp, the King of Lucia 2.2 Race, and the dreaded TTC. (I've been entered in the events as Axial's team driver, so abuse is guaranteed!)

Submissions must be in by July 20th. Voting shortly after that. Prizes will be mailed to the winners!

Thanks for your help, and good luck!

DorkStar PROductions (DSPRO)
Team Axial

PS: Here is what will be in the truck, to help you with your selections:
- Summit Tranny, Tekin 1350kv T8 Motor, Mamba Max Pro, 6s Lipo, Wraith Axles w/4ws, HandBros Lights.

Keep in mind that these 'features' cant make the truck illegal for class 3, they might have to be 'adjusted' to fit the rules if they are really crazy. ;)

Gotta Be a 4 Door Unimog Front half. ( Cuse Mog are always awesome! )



Also if its gonna run a ttc it will need a big ass winch ( front and back if possible )



Lastly It needs lots of lights up front! ( rally style preferred. )




I left the back half open to options because a half and half truck would be sweet.

First make it a 47 chevy panel wagon. I havent seen an old chevy panel wagon yet done. Would definitely add to the uniqueness/wow factor.



Make this grill out of delrin


Paint similiar to this. For the cool military look.

Or use some ideas from this rig. My favorite rig of all time, and the one that got me into crawling. It was build by a member on here, wish I could remember his name
