Default Formula Toyota

Kaetwo built this cage last week and after some "persuading" he let go of it and it came my way I want to keep it clean and simple. Definite plans are some good lights, probably a servo winch, and some better detailed interior parts.

Also, these are not the wheels that are going on it. What do you guys think, should I run stock Axial SCX-10 TR wheels or some black RC4WD Steel wheels?

Onto the pics

It doesn't take much persuading to get him to let stuff go, does it?
Looked nice in person. I'm sure you will do it justice. I'd vote to go with the steel wheels.... much better looking than the TR wheels IMO

I've been thinking about the kit and it might be something I do down the road.

This one took a bit. I'm leaning towards the black steel wheels right now Hopefully I can get panels done today.

The Sammy is now this but the sammy body is probably going on my boy's TR.

I was just looking at the kit.... It might be a must have for this.

Well, $100+ later leaf springs and kit are on the way. I ordered the red RC4WD leaf springs too so I'm thinking that red panels are in order.

Those are going on another rig most likely. I have the same wheels in black that might end up on this.

There's a chance that when the RC4WD Spooky Crawler tires come out they will be on it.

I know the pics are terrible, it's a long story and I had to use a Go-Pro video camera and while they are great for video they suck for pics. Anyway, I got the panels made and painted Tamiya Red. I decided to go with the black RC4WD Steel wheels. Here you go so far More crappy pics to come tomorrow.

Nice job so far. It looks a lot different with panels on there.

I've got to shake this N1H1 shizat and get to building another one.

Default Testing out the Go-Pro

I wanted to test out the Go-Pro so I made a quick mount off the rear chassis brace. I think it's a pretty cool view.

Cracking build!

any chance you could take a measurement for me? what is the distance from the outer edge of the rim one side to the other? (with the RC4WD steel's)
cheers!
