well here is what i have so far.
i channeled the frame and i think i'm going to powder coat it or anodize the chassis. not sure yet. might run the e-maxx tranny in this one. or i might run this type of chassis on the hi-lift when it comes out. i can't wait to get my hands on that truck.going to build one stock and one fully modified. more to come....

You'll find it's a hell of a lot stronger than just bolting it together flat. Interlocking is the way to go; I figured that out on the O.G. Barnyard Buster last October :mrgreen:

i see that the drilled hole dont really match the arc of the frame. does than cause any kinda of assembly problems IE bolt/nuts or cross rails catching on the side of the c channeled area?

So is that c-channel version for sale? Would that be considered the 'C-Channel DTrail12'? If you have it available, I have Paypal ready...

I have that same body and was going to make a build using Jakks tires on it...But decided to go with a larger scale...I think you should try mounting some of the Jakks on your rig...It would look WAY more scale!!!!...and i could live my build out through you!!!!! :) :) :) :)...If not..how bout a mock up just so i can see???...

They are ~1.9" tires like on the CC-01's. Mnster is using them on Jim's Tacoma build.
