Am I missing something? In the first picture it looks like behind (under) the axle steering, but in the later pics it looks like conventional steering. Any info? I'd love to hear what setup you went with.

Fixed it Gregg. That was from Showcase. Guess it was still saved as my last copy before I pasted. At first I thought you had just been hitting the bottle again. Haha!! My bad, been sick for a week trying to keep up.

He runs it both ways. For sake of body integrity and durability we left it with full doors. The owner is a first time RC crawler guy and unwanted him to have the best representation and also not have to worry as much about the way he drives it.

Sold...if the owner ever wants it to go to a collector. . Very cool project and stellar execution.

This is one insanely bad ass build Clay. A truly great representation of a bad ass 1:1.

I notice the Wyoming plates, I wonder if I might run across this guy one day when I get my 1:1 running again.

He wheels quite a bit. He's got some big ride coming up on the 23rd, big Blazer meet somewhere. He also runs mud bogs with it but not sure how far he travels for those. It's pushing over 1000hp on the spray. He's got a set of Boggers on another set of wheels for the mud just like the 1:1 also. His son has been aging with them on his while dad was waiting on me to finish his out.
Here is the thread for the sons clone,

I am a member of the Rough Country 4-Wheelers (RC4W) out of Cheyenne so he wouldn't have to travel too far. That rig makes me want to do something with my '77 Blazer. Thumper Jr. is a very cool rig too.

He said he has gone out on several rides but hasn't become a full member yet. The Blazer Bash is on the 25th in Grand junction.
Adding the 1:1 build thread link to the original post on first page.

So it's best to stick with a good structure in the body. Then fit can change this detail.

Anyway for me it is too good

Almost forgot the driver side display and the antenna for the GPS.
