|  scx10 f150 truggy
so Ive been bitten by the scale bug and seem to have gone completely mad. the chassis is tig welded 1/4 inch brake line on a scx10. specs: mayhem 7 comp wheels 2.2 hpi rockgrabbers axial axles with overdrive front gears dna dig reversed motor on custom mount hand bros frame mounted steering servo kit losi comp shocks rc4wd key fob remote winch and a seemingly endless list of things left to do. Inspired by the top truck challenge. going to have a multitude of tire setups for the different scale comps coming up.        |

Great job I really like the sheet metal work for the interior. What did you use as a metal break to bend it? I am getting ready to start my interior and its my first build so I am looking for some ideas. I do not own a sheet metal break so was hoping there was an easy alternative to making clean bends.

| sheetmetal work
the bends were actually made with a 250$ hf but could easily be done on their 35$ one http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=39103 |
