there's nothing wrong with a little porn...or a lot of porn actually.


some flex pics...lol not bad for a rig with stiff assed jug leafs...the FULL leaf packs too not just one leaf. thats how heavy this thing is...the bathroom scale says 12 lbs.





notice only one side has U bolts so far...

Hey Kingcobra,
That truck looks kick @$$. Where do you find those scale accessories such as the gas cans, tools, fire extinguishers, high lift jacks etc? I know your rig doesn't have all that I mentioned but I am on the hunt for this stuff, and have had no luck.

texrok, I actually got the gas cans, the shovel and the ax from another forum member...I looked at all the local stores and came up empty so I started asking around...sure enough someone had what I needed. got em all for $20 shipped. I just repainted em and made the can mounts out of brass.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin, the winch does work. and it's controlled from the radio.

thanks for the replies.

update...

chassis painted...





still need to make 6 more U bolts...driveshafts are on order.

Whoa, very impressive. Been watching this over on Scale4X4.com last few weeks. You certainly do some outstanding creating! The body has got to have quite a few hours in it. Attention to detail on the body alone is mind boggling. Very unique project.

Kickass man! With the axle painted black, it looks 100 times better! Looks real!

yea...I couldn't see detailing the body that much and leaving the chassis and suspension all silver and shiny. I hope the paint stays on fairly well...

and thank you

here's a bottom shot...



and if I feel like doin some really rough offroadin I can always stick the old body on it...I might even buy a brand new one of these and paint it up just for that...but leave the flares on it....
