courier rebuild

[dittohead]

Ive had this proline courier lid for years and after some buying/selling of parts I had enough stuff laying around to build another rig. This truck is running but not finished, still a few things im going to do.

It starts with a really nice set of VP wraith housings narrowed front/centered rear axles by CarterFab. These are sweet!

The chassis is my OLD og scx chassis that was twisted and bent. I straightened it out and welded on a cage and added my own sliders/shock mounts to that.

1/4" dia. VP wraith link set with proline powerstroke slash front shocks setup in droop.

The rest of the drivetrain is standard scx stuff: MIP drivelines, alu cased scx trans, tekin fxr/45t combo on 3s, ccbec hardwired to a hitec 7955 servo with axial horn, home made steering links, homemade battery mount/filler panels between the sliders/chassis, proline swamper XLs with TSS beadlocks and lockedup scale hardware.

All the electrics are mounted in a box in the back.

Still got a bumper/winch to add to the front, inner wheelwells, and a back panel mounted to the cage. I might put the courier boxsides on it as well. Had this truck out once and for being droop it worked pretty well. Gonna gear it up to 16/87 for more wheelspeed and go from there.

Thankyou sir! The paint job on mine looks just like your rigs! I think I painted it in 2008? What a weird coincidence

Yes it does match my rigs, but I didnt do the first one until 2009, guess I copied you, lol! Wish they still made those bodies..

I wish proline would re-release several of their old bodies, the courier is at the top of the list for me. Id buy a couple of any they offered. I know they REALLY need to offer more then jeeps and a superduty cab
