my tow wrecker truck
 
after seeing a few vids with krazy joes tow truck in it i decided to build my own one. so far ive built most of the tow part but i still need some stuff to finish it off like threaded rod some rubber and chains which i have coming from a mate these are the only pics i have right now but i would like to say a big thanks to krazy joe for building his one so i could get a good idea for my build.

Ya that's why i said "on second thought...". RC's break all the time and a tow truck is a good idea =) I was just being a smart ass lol

if i didnt see krazy joe`s one i wouldnt have thought about building onemine but it going to be fun when someone breaks down and ask`s for a lift and i turn around and say that will be so much money per mile lol.

little update aswell. chopped the rear of the frame as it was getting in the way and i also think ive found something to use for the fabric peice but i need the metal rod first before i cut it to shape oh and i might be adding a winch but iam not sure yet.

made these up just to see if they would work or not and it looks like they will do the job but i wont find out till the metal rod gets here forgot they will need some cutting to size though
