Taco Loco

[Full_Throttle]

Figured I'd start a thread for my latest pile.



The stuff:

Holmes BRXL ESC
Holmes Torquemaster 35T
HiTec 7954SH Servo
Axial aluminum steering link upgrade
RC4WD Winch Bumper
Rock Armor Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ drop hitch
RC4WD steel side bars
Dinky RC bedside kit
Dinky RC Honcho interior kit
Axial 1.9 R35 Ripsaws
Axial 1.9 8-hole beadlocks
3Racing Winch
Team 3Six goodies






Building this on the fly for a get together this coming weekend. Here's the damage so far:

sssssssssssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! and btw are you going to put the back of the dinky rc bedside kit on?

[Full_Throttle]

Thanks!!!!! Actually, no, I will not be using the back panel. I happen to like the look of the rear without it.

Bit more progress.

Do you mean the bedside panels? Dinky RC if so.









Bit more progress. Dash decal showed up. Also put in some aluminum plate trim pieces.




















Put a small strip of square rod styrene under the dash to elevate the front. Not a big deal but I think it put it more in line with the driver's line of vision. Or maybe I'm just making a mountain out of a mole hill.





















Needed a navigator...


















Wanting his arms to be more out front and straight with hands turned inward to hold a map... so Willy got the O.J. Simpson treatment. Cut his hands at the wrist, then rotated and reattached. Also cut off some of the arm and the shoulder in order to widen the position. This left a big gap in his armpit. Filled it with some modeling clay. Shouldn't be noticeable after painting.

Well, it's finished. Just in time for the scale comp/get together in the morning. Tight deadline, but I made it. Ready to get her dirty now.

That is the coolest SCX 10 I have ever laid eyes on.

Holy balls.

I'm a fan of anything with a Tacoma theme, but this takes it to a whole new level! Damn fine work dude!

Thank you very much for the compliment! I promise there are nicer builds on here than this, by far superior builders, but I appreciate the compliment nevertheless!!

Thanks man! I'm growing to love the Tacomas, that's a definite. I still think I could have done a better job but my deadline was just so short. Next build I'm reserving more time. It's going to be a Tacoma as well LOL!

Thank you very much! I've tried to learn as much as I can from other superior builders. Still a long way to go, but I'm getting better.

Thanks! Lovin some Tacos after this build. Bedsides weren't too bad... decent fit and other than the rear panel which I loathe, it adds a new look to the Honcho's.
