Looking good so far. Good work on the 4 link's! It's interesting to see how each persons truck evolves over time. Some have quick changes, other morph more gradually. But modding is half the fun! Enjoy! |

That is a shame, it looks awesome so far. I reckon finish it off any way and stick some boddy panels on it. |

Well it was getting too heavy, after putting weights in my front wheels and cage. I just don't thing it would have performed well. If some body could give me some ideas to make the front look better. And I couldn't figure out any way to mount it if it was just gonna be a tuber. Any ideas? |

shorten up the nose hoop and run another tube from the side to the front and a few gussets.

Get that giant antenna under control too. I read a thread about making a plate to wrap it around out of lexan, I took the same idea and did it with styrene.
