Back together. Probably will have to pull it apart again before it's done.
Swapped out to Ascender shocks but will need firmer springs.

Redid the driveshafts now that the two speed is in.

Lmao, loving the oven set up, if I ever get my toys near the kitchen I'll be eating from taco bell for at least a year....LOL. You are one lucky man. LOL. Like I said before, amazing job Sir.

Wifey wasn't home but she wouldn't have cared anyways. Thanks. I can't wait to get the wrap on this beast.

I've probably said it before, but it's worth saying again, this is one cool truck. Lots of quality craftsmanship,

Again, very impressive fab skills, the re-purposed oven idea is killer! CXT turned out awesome.

Thanks, I am getting close to having this rig completed. Need to get the shift servo and radio setup, tweak shock springs, gearing and get the wrap on.

The paint I used on the chassis is header enamel and needs to be cured at 200degs for an hour. I have used this paint before and it is really durable but does require an oven type environment. This chassis was too big but the foil idea just may have worked. Have to see how good the paint holds on, once on the rocks.

Rig is awesome nice work

Awesome Rig Sir! You have some great original ideas and a real talent for making them come to life.

Thanks for the kinda words guys. I just hack and black spray paint my way into these custom builds.

FreqEsKinZ wrap and decals are out for delivery. I should have taken today off of work!

Great idea but you might want to hide the pic in the thread....

Thanks, still some work left to do on it. Replace windows with clear and do an interior.
The RC4WD two speed transmission shift arm keeps flopping around and binding on shifting. I need to make a guide for it or figure something else out.

Szczerba · 08-15-2015, 10:36 PM

Handed off to Eddie today.
Next to my old Reign F-Toy build.

Awesome truck to build.

Next to my 1st CXT build.
