|  '56 F100 build
I've always wanted to do a build of the Proline 56 F100, so I've been collecting parts and putting this one together for some time, and it's close to where I want it to be now, only have lighting and interior to go next. Hope you like it .     |

Parts used in the build All metal RRP trans gears Axial HD bevel gears Vanquish Stage 1 kit Proline scaler shocks VP VVD Hitec HS-7954SH CC BEC CASTLE SV3 ESC 35 turn lathe motor PITBULL RB2 on GCM Beadlocks VP aluminum transmission VP Hurtz Dig MIP shafts  I made this riser so that I wouldn't have to mod the skid for the Dig- but it's a balance of rise vs binding the rear shaft since it's a short wheelbase (I had to clock the pinion quite a bit    |

It looks super-sharp! Love the combo of blue/black and how you faded the two colors together. The trans looks bomb-proof, but you kept the stock spur/slipper setup? I put the RRP on mine, and covered it with the VP aluminum cover, I'll try to put some pics of it my thread. Keep up the good work  |

Yearn that bumper might just be temporary, I don't like how it blocks the lights either. I was thInking one of these might work  |

Color combo with that body style is a perfect match. My vote is for the second bumper also.

Well she's running now, and pretty well. I added Exile RC Bigger Better Beef tubes - big improvement 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Also went with a MMP and built my own lighting control box.       |

Well as much as I like the bumpers on this truck, I found they impeded approach and departure angles, so with a competition in a couple days, I set about machining and brazing some new 4130 bumpers that look like they belong on the truck. I'm pretty happy with them Rear bumper    Front bumper       |
