Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Build #55 since 2007

All starts with a frame. Used MadDogRC straight frame rails and proceeded to chop them up.

Yes sir, picked up a crew cab that turned out to be put together well.


No pictures for you!


It's gray (printed) right now.

SSD housings with narrow printed lockouts. VP and axial parts.

I worked with Joshs4x4toyz on these wheels. These are around version 4. Rear is single 1.6" wide with ridge down the middle. Front is 0.5" wide. SLW pattern and removable hub covers.
1.55 MTZ's stretched.

Looking good! Cab and wheels look awesome!

Who makes those seats?

re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Friend. They are a little smaller than a wraith seat. Won't be using them on this build.

I have modified an old New Bright Hummer H2 interior that fits this modified body perfect.

lets kick this turkey

re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Me too. Not sure how this will end up.


Heh?

Interior crammed and cut to fit. Door panels will need adjusting.

Made these little pieces to hold the front of interior to cab. My brain works sometimes.

is it ok to have an rc crush on other guys rigs? thats not werid is it?

re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Just for you then. Super mockup fun picture. I haven't even posted up the gooseneck trailer yet.

Ebay fiberglass bed. I cheated a whole lot on this build and bought several premade items. Custom chassis should make up for my laziness.

re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Sweet! I really wanted a welder and compressor on the back of my CXT build but can't really find anything in 1/8 scale.

re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

I had a friend upsize his design to fit my bed.

Re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Good looking rig like the way that interior fits the cab. I am doing a crew cab also and I had made an interior to fit. Are you going to do some kind of brush guard on the front. Will be following this build.

Re: Szczerba's F350 Welder Rig
 

Thanks.

The 1/10 Traxxas Summit bumper fits this front end almost like it was made for it. Just a tad bit of grinding on the top of the bumper and it will fit the grill profile perfectly. Bumper is only $8 too!
