|  F350 Scale rig Had to start a real build thread for this bad boy, my old one was all jumbled with iphone pics and uneventful photos, now for some good stuff. My goal was to build a sweet buggy type crawler with the least amount of metal fab i could, and I ended up with this...no metal  Started as a pretty new TR...  Then came the tamiya top and some fabrication. started by adding a custom tool box, but decided i wanted to go with no bed    Now for some paint, also cut a bit of frame off the back and did some custom lighting with the rear bumper support bar(did the same with the front, ill show those later)    flowmaster sticker :sht:    all dry by today ...    dumdadadumm    titus beadlocks, rock crushers, 55t motor, rc4wd shocks and more body parts on the way so stay tuned!

| Looks good  My SCX10 has only been together for a few weeks now and I have already been talking of a F350 cab for mine. Look forward to seeing it with the new wheels and tires. |

| Looks good. You could cut off those servo mounting posts on the rear axle and then sand them down. You could also mount the steering servo to the frame and cut the front mounting posts off as well. You dont have to spend any cash to do it either. Just search for user SwampDawg in the scx10 forum, you'll find his how to post. Drunk Last edited by DrunkDriver; 12-03-2009 at 03:05 PM. |

| This is pretty cool. I would of never cutting the bed up like that. The color is perfect the way it is. A little bling is not bad. Can not wait to see more |
