Thanks Greg, Tamiya Ferrari Red. I ordered a snorkel but I ordered the wrong one. Will have to order the right one and get the mirrors on too.

I originally put the servo on the chassis but I didn't like it there. I couldn't get the steering to travel as much as I wanted so I put the servo on the axle. Now I have much more. I will have to do the XR mod some day when I get brave.

Yes, I'm going to have to re-visit that option very soon. Thanks for the offer to help. I'm going to pay Bruce another visit soon, gather the other parts needed and then we can plan a day for me to make a road trip your way.

I got the mirrors installed this afternoon, I went back to the amber lenses also.Now that the sun is in the rear yard, you can see the actual paint color. Needs some stacks.

I'd enjoy that Joe...

I could do your way too...good excuse to see the grandkids

Are you running 1.9's ? The amber lenses set off nice with that Ferrari red

Yes they are 1.9's. Lockedup RC Adversary wheels with the Proline TSL SX tires. They look like 2.2 don't they. I like the extra height.

If you want to come this way to see the kids, that would be OK too.

Postclanker · 10-22-2013, 06:57 PM

Yes, they do look large...look good on there too

When you're ready to do the mod we'll work out the details....

Postclanker · 11-13-2013, 09:48 PM

Good Sir,

Could you share with me how much shorter the cab is to the Hilux cab, you mentioned it was a little shorter...looks like maybe a half inch or so just eyeballing it.

Where did you find that body please ??? Thinking of using that body in a future build...

Thanks in advance

raceeng18 · 11-13-2013, 10:01 PM

Sure,I measured from the rear of the cab to the end of the fender.

The F-350 is 8 3/8". It has a lip, shelf, that protrudes from the rear of the cab and it is 1/2" wide and sits 1" below the bottom of the rear window.

The Mojave cab is 9 5/8".

I purchased the cab and bed from Rpp. That's the only way it comes I believe.

Need anything else let me know.

Postclanker · 11-13-2013, 10:15 PM

Wow, that's 1-1/4" difference...that's significant. Was the ford dimension including that lip or not? I did see the lip in one of your pics....
I have to tell the chassis builder what the difference is...he has a Hilux cab and he wants the headache bar to be right off the cab back...no gap if you now what I mean...I could trim that lip off.

Thanks Joe

raceeng18 · 11-13-2013, 10:17 PM

Greg I measured the lip separately.
