Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Used the string method to cut the plastic. Worked pretty well, just have to take your time and keep the string from heating up.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Did you widen the stance at all or do the tires stick out that much with that body?? Im thinking of doing a Hilux body on mine but if the tires stick out that much...im not so sure about it anymore....

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

That paint scheme looks great!!! Awesome job man"thumbsup"

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

I ordered hubs with too much offset, but probably going to run it this way for a bit.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Looks great, I like the paint and can appreciate the work you have done.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

This looks great, I love the paint as well. I don't know how hard it would be with that body but adding some wheel wells would make it look even better than it already does.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Yep, they were just $50 more than i wanted to spend at the time. Its got a few other issues to resolve as well. Notably sliders need to be positioned differently and i'm not 100% the body mounting is secure enough.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Sick rig man I love all the detail work you have done.

Very nice.

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

I did not know that wheel wells were part of the kit and that is pretty expensive for them, I thought that it was something that you could/had to make. Please don't think I was bashing on it, your truck looks great!

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Great lookin paint scheme, nicely done!

Re: Bobbed Mojave on SCX10
 

Time for an update.

I've had this out several times and the paint shows it. It rode pretty tall and a bit too wide for scale, so it was time for mild update/rebuild. I recently tried brazing and enjoyed both the process and results so decided to add some nerf bars b/w the sliders and the bumper while I moved to a smaller offset hub and dropped the body mounting position.

Here it is, a bit too tall and wide:
