Redemption: The comp-ish style 5thD build

[Solitaire]

Pretty good collection of parts already.

Now, where's the pic of that super top secret SuckerPunch?

You're holdin' out on us here.

I can't wait to see the paint job on the body! Custom?

im probably more excited about it than i should be, but its going to be pretty awesome. Maybe if you watch the vendor thread like a hawk for awhile you will see it before i do haha.

not sure what body im going to use, i got the parma body last time just because it was cheap and i really wanted to paint something. I would really like to cut up a lexan f100 body or something but im not sure what im going to do yet.

That body would help others understand more what your building, combination scale looks with a comp chassis for best performance.

thats kind of what ive wanted all along. Something that looks like a badass truck but works better than an actual truck

[cboggs]

Gonna be cool, its the "new" old school build.

Look at hpi bodies they have several ford's and lots of trucks. I could see a hpi bronco body on it.

an suv type body wouldnt work. If i go with a non comp body i need to dovetail both ends for sure.

[cboggs]

I think Proline makes/made a truck body that was already dove tailed, I'll have to see if I can find it.

[snapon boy]

It's the wheelie king body. But yes on the dove tail.

if i buy one thats already done, then it isnt mine :-p

I need to be a special snowflake damnit!

[Solitaire]

Here ya go, Proline F-150 Raptor body for the Stampede (it's sitting on my SuckerPunch). Not dovetailed, but looks pretty mean.

sorry Dan I wasn't trying to steal your thunder! With your skills I'm sure it will be impressive!

got my tires and wheels today, didnt get foams because im a goof. What foams should i get for just messing around?

I love rpp, i will have pictures up later today.

[snapon boy]

Crawler innovation. Contact him tell him what your plans for the rig are and he will hook you up!

same wheels as last time, junfac gt2.2. The tsl xl tires were awesome before but they were just too tall even for my taste, got some pitbull rock beasts this time



This is something im sure others will think is stupid, but its a little touch that sets a company apart for me. Ive been an rpp fanboy since my first order but this just kind of locks it in. In the comments section for my order i asked for blue rpp stickers (they always throw in stickers) and didnt expect to get them but hoped that maybe i would get one. I looked at the packing slip when i got my stuff and saw "sure =)" which is something most people would just look over, but to me it shows that somebody actually looked at my order and noticed more than the quantity and my address.




thats it for now, my slipper eliminator gets here tomorrow and hopefully the chassis won't be far behind .

Little something heading your way...

*head explodes*


that looks incredible, very excited to have it coming my way!

I have (what i hope will be) a pretty awesome paint job in my head for this.

[Curcal]

The key is to actually finish this one....... :thumbs:

[Solitaire]

I think this one will come to fruition.
