Thank you! And I think I'll keep the box off it, I'll swap it out once in while depending on what kind of driving I'll be doing. Plus I'd have no idea what it would be worth...

That truck looks really good man what's the wheelbase on it? I think I'm going to order one but make it fit a pro line Chevy body to match my 1:1

I'm not positive on how wheel base is measured, but from center of front axle to center of rear axle is 12"
The suspension links I just put on clocked the axles a little so my wheel base may have changed a little bit from the stock
I believe the honcho and power wagon have the same wheel base

That would be the wheelbase (12") and that's exactly how it's measured.

New flatbed/rollcage with exocage. Also built a little tool box to store my tow straps

[Cowboy6080]

Flatbed is nearing completion, I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out. Ignore the greasy pop/beer can testing area that I built in the pictures. It looks horrible but works awesome when it's too cold here in Alberta to drive out side

i cant seem to find them on the website

I don't know how to tag people on here, so go to my profile and under my started threads look for "scx10 high clearance links" and look for R2J's post on there and just PM him

Well after running the exocage/flatbed for a while, I'm really not liking how top heavy my truck is. I think it's going to have to be put on the shelf until I replace the plastic axles and steering components and get some more weight down lower. So I've started on making a new bed for the truck. This one is going to be made of wood. I bought some hot sauce a while back and it came in a little wooden outhouse, and I thought the designs on it would look pretty sweet on my truck. So I've disassembled it and started on the new bed



I've never been into naming my trucks, but I guess I don't have enough "yet" to worry about it, but I think this truck just got a name "Ass Blaster" hahaha

Looks good! Check out my power wagon build in the 1.9 scaler section!

Thanks! Slow work in progress, and always changing the direction I want to go, I don't think I'll ever be done! But that's the best part about this hobby

Exactly! Build one until you like it, then build another!

I'd love to build 100 more, but have a baby on the way now so this build has really been put on a budget, so more is definitely out of the question for now haha

[Cowboy6080]

Bed is almost done, a few touch ups and then a good thick coat of plastidip to waterproof it and she will be good to go

[BigChevyTruckin]

That bed looks awesome man!

[Cowboy6080]

Done "for now"

I don't want to give anything a way, but my next project is a 1st gen ram. A replica of my dads truck he had when I was just a boy.

I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for that build!

Finally took the time to get some action pictures while running the other day. Usually I'm to excited about driving my truck to think about it, or it's too dark by the time I get home
