Default trophy crawler

i started my trophy truck/ crawler. after seeing the vanquish trucks, i had to build one. right now its just a typical scx10 with a body swap using the HPI mini trophy truck F-150, new 1.9 pitbulls. the bed cage is in the works so i will post pics of that when theres more to see. the bed cage will be modular for easy removal so i can go back to the honcho body without much work. the HPI body fits great, width and wheel base are right on the money. any questions feel free to ask.

How did you mount the 2 body panels together ( front body and rear fenders ) ?

to mount the 2 body halfs together, i just lined up the bodylines and where the bed comes to the cab, then put 2 small 3mm screws on each side through. the bed side has an extention that goes inside the "extended cab" area.
