Thanks. I've been putting alot of effort in this when I have free time... Never satisfied when I build something. So I redo it a few times.. but this truck will be amazing when done..

Rebuilt the cab back. Used what was left of the original bed floor I had laying around.. had to notch the back to fit down the frame rails. set the cab on the body. Still fine tuning the rear cab height. Thinking the front is fine. This is with the suspension fully extended. Definitely need to get some beefy front shocks with some stiff springs... Probably gonna slightly trim the edges of the wheels Wells on the bed.

Just received a few parts from RPP HOBBY today.

Vp scx10ii 6 bolt spool
Yeah racing 80mm threaded tubes
Rc4wd 180-220mm ultra scale driveshaft for the rear.

I'm loving how real this driveshaft looks. Pictures don't do justice.


Not sure what the 80mm threaded tubes will be used for yet. But I just wanted to get all the sizes they have for shits and giggles. I'll find some uses for them eventually...

That tiny ass wrench for the driveshaft flanges is ridiculously small...lol

Yea that driveshaft just looks amazing! It’s the same one I’m running on my quad cab. Worse thing about it though is how much they charge for it

Yes it's awesome looking. And yes. It hurt me to pay that. But owell it's just money.....I might even have to cut the long side down about 10mm maybe.

I'm not sure weather to have the bed and cab bolted together or have the cab and he'd mount separate to the chassis. Not sure how to mount the rear of the cab to the chassis

Think I'm set on using a pair of rc4wd king coilover 100mm shocks. And space them down to 90mm or no more than 95mm...

No progress on the rig due to being very busy... Plans are to at least get it sitting on it's own wheels and tires.

Options I'm looking at for wheels

SSD 1.9 assassin (silver or bronze)
SSD 1.9 rock racer(silver)
SSD 1.9 champions(silver/ blue)
Vp 1.9 method 310 (clear)
Vp kmc XD229 machete (grey or clear or black)
Rc4wd 1.9 fuel off-road maverick (black)

Options for hubs

SSD RC Wheel Hub with Brake Rotor x2
Vp .225 slw hubs
Vp .325 slw hubs

Options for tires

Rc4wd 1.9 Michelin X Force XZL+ 14.00 R20 4.23" tall
Rc4wd 1.9 Atturo Trail Blade X/T* 3.95" tall
Rc4wd 1.9 Fuel Offroad Mud Gripper 4.33" tall
Rc4wd 1.9 Atturo Trail Blade M/T 4.25" tall
Rc4wd 1.9 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 4.19" tall

Options for foams

Crawler innovations Deuce's wild 1.9 4.0-4.4
Crawler innovations Deuce's wild 1.9 3.85-4.19

Obviously foams depend on what tire I get

Slow progress ....Picked up a set of front aluminum shock towers from SSD. I like the quality of these. The HR shocks r only for mock up until I get the rc4wd king coilovers

Picked up 2 pairs of 100mm king coilovers.,. Not sure what springs are on them. Cleaned and changed oil from 50 to 20wt...the other pair I kinda ruined the collar/lower spring cup and sleeve by trying to clean them in purple power. Wasn't thinking.lol.

Finally got my wheel tire setup I think that will stay. They are SSD champion 1.9 wheels on rc4wd 4.33 fuel mud grippers. With the stock foams they seem decent. Might change later.. love the look

Ya. Once I saw these wheels, I knew they would be perfect for this rig. Almost bout a set with the black ring. Glad I didn't. These look so much better in person then in a picture.. it was about $180 for the wheels and tires. So I thought about it for a while before I bout them.. thanks. I have really high standards for this rig. Seeing as how it's my first time doing this.. really want to start another build. Lol

Got the outside of the bed painted. The tailights glued in and tailgate painted. I'm looking for hinges for the tailgate. I was gonna add lights. But I'm gonna wait to build another cab/bed.not sure what I'm gonna do with the inside of the bed yet. Still got to cut of the rear bed tubs. Not sure how to do that yet.
