Great looking rig. The honcho body came out pretty nice on it. That and the body panel in the rear makes it look like it came that way. |

Do the front tires rub at all? I have an HPI Wrangler body on mine and they rub like mad. It is a little wider than that in front though. It looks great though. My son is just about 4 and loves driving the trucks. |

It rubs but very little going straight. I trimmed the cab up all around the lights and fenders. The front plate for the FAKIE winch is over the front axle servo so it doesn't have as much flex. The build on the boom is basic using shock mounts and lower mounts for the sway bar holes. |
