Ok guys I have been running my scx10 for three years now, I built it as the kit pre honcho, it has had several bodies including this one stock. The wheel base has been pushed out in the rear 1/2" . I am on a severe budget until I find a job. Going for the look of a work truck/ support truck aka 4wheel & offroads ultimate adventure truck from 09, with my own twist. Anyway a list of what I am running Stock driveshafts Stock shocks Stock trans Stock axles Traxxas Xl5 Hitek 645 servo Rc4wd 2 Face tires Rc4wd steel beadlocks lots of custom aluminum Pics in the next post |

Got the headache rack on. The cuts are not perfect but will do for now. I threw some scale stuff in the back, I am going to put some lights on it and some bracing for the rack, and some new stickers. |

I didn't like the stock grill, so it got a billet grill to replace it. |

Something fell back on. Nothing is perfect as I plan on plenty of rock rash, and prob a few dents. |

Thanks guys. Yes Bambie all bent by hand, and first try ever. I used a bench vise for the sharp creases and my thumbs for the soft radius. Hammered the leading edge.
