Well they sure do look nice. I hope they are more durable than the plastic ones that came out about this time last year.

I got some work done on the front end done yesterday. I had a binding issue got that fixed made a new steering link using titanium tube. I had to re build the steer stabilizer mount because I'm running cvd's now and the other limited my steering. I also repaint the shock and put a new sticker on it. I also put on the new carbon fiber leafs that I'm testing and made my servo mount. |

Well as the days tick away till the scale comp I'm working like a mad man to get my scale rigs done. I'll that is left is the electronics and winch and figure how to mount the body up and water proof. Tranny and motor installed Rear carbon leafs and newly painted shocks and new stickers Rear Red Led tail lights installed. Yes I know they are not straight but will fix that after the comp. |

Perhaps I read the thread a bit too fast but I did't understand How you built that wonderful chassis. What did you start from ? The reason I ask is that I recently bought a Ford F-350 which is only 1/3 built but lots of poeple and I don't like its ladder frame because it is not realistic, so I'm looking for alternatives. Thanks Filippo |

| Wow! That really came out nice. I'm just beginning a scale build myself, I have something similar in mind, except I bleed Ford Blue. But still lots of great inspiration in your build. Anybody know where I can get scale Gumbo Mudders? |
