| My first build....F350....Not a truggy!
I just want to start by saying I'm so tired of truggy scalers. With that said here you go. Enjoy the pics On its first run. Bean Hollow. Other than the usual kit stuff, I added: HH cobalt 14t Novak crawler Hitec 645 Winch 2s 5400Mah (man does it last a long time) *Frame mounted servo coming soon, along with water proofing* It did really well with the clipped flat irons 7oz of weight in the front, 1oz in the rear Now I have to learn to drive a scaler....Haha! |

I wish I had the time to build it myself. However, work and a 4 month old baby kind of exhaust all my time. But, thats a good thing. I have never been happier! The add on's I can handle. The body and armor was to time consuming for me. | |

| Thanks, I couldn't agree more. A lot harder to wheel, but, a much more scale look. I mean, that is what we are going for. No offense to the truggy guys, but, its a scaler cop out. Yes they exist in the 1:1 world. Do they look scale in 1:10 world? Not very often. |

| I'm with you on the Ford's. But there are waaaay to many Toyota scalers. So I went for the next best thing. |
