Why don't you find your self a chevy C10 body to change it up a little. Though I know what you mean about the cab, I really like not having to run a body down here in Sportsman.

Thanks Camo! I'm going to run the parma.

Thats a scale truss from R2J I believe. I really like it, only one I know using it on a comper.

[Bronco Bobby]

Just found your build and scrolled through it (I like pictures), very nice car. It looks very very capable.

Does it tie into any other points besides the 4 holes I see? Got any better pics of it?

Also, what rod ends are those on the steering linkages? Looks like they might be axial, but also could be kyosho?

IIRC, he said that they were from a wraith and he cut off the little nub.

No just the four top holes, and yes what Jeremy said they are wraith rod ends that have a post coming out to attach a drag link that I trimmed off.

Finally finished up my new body with skinz by FreqESkinz.com. I'm love the look and better roll over ability. Its cool that it matches the rest of my trucks now as well.







Was still able to keep the taillights! (that way the competition can better follow this rig )





Also, I figured I would have gained weight with the bigger body, with skinz AND paint. Only .2 oz from the only painted and highly trimmed XR body. The huge gain in looks was WELL worth the minimal gain in weight IMO.

Nice work Shelby! The new body looks great

[landon4]

That looks so sweet Shelby the stance is perfect.

[EverettY]

Looks awesome! You should have left off the tail lights so that the competition won't know what lines to take and therefore get left in the dust

[FreqEsKinz]

Looking sir! Nice work.

Dang, how do you keep from pulling the screws out of the housing? I made one like that a while back, and I would rip em out, even with a nut on the other side. Just rip the crap out of the housing.... "rippin' and a tarein', rippin and a tarein'"

You must drive it like a 97 year old woman on her way to church .15 miles from her house...

Holy moses you post everywhere. I know you're only 14, but damn! Get a girlfriend! You have almost as many posts as I do in less than a year. I have been here for nearly 6 years, AND am a vendor. You will pass me by the weekend's end I'm sure

It's my hobby And I'm 15 BTW. I do this when my cars aren't running. I just have to have some connection with Crawling

And look at how many posts per day this guy has versus how many I have

And you wonder why he doesn't have time to work on his rigs

Somebody needs to call his parents and get him signed up for an Internet-less summer camp.

Never been accused of being easy on my rigs...

I was going to not laugh at Chris' comment and ignore it but why the hell would you turn a joke on you into trying to make fun of Harley. You do not get to compare yourself to him.

I'm not making fun of him... I'm just saying that I'm not like the top poster here...

Posts aren't weighed only in numbers but also usefulness.

[Dr.Frank]

Hmmm, delicious body work, like it

...and the rest under it also.

Greetings Frank
