Thanks for the info I'm gonna pick me up some like that, I figured it'll be about 1/7th to 1/8th scale so I definitely need something bigger tires to match and those look sweet.

are you going to pick another one up? main reason I got it is because they're cheap reliable and solid axle so good for a scratch built budget truck.

Ok so it's been awhile since my last update, been dirtbiking alot then my bikes crank and top end took a dump. So back to my cheaper hobby. I wanted a more scale looking chassis so this is my take, and this is new to me so bare with me. I know brake line and brazing with map is the best way to go about it but I have to wait til I can afford the map setup, so I'm trying brass and silver solder for just spits and wiggles. I've seen people use brass on a couple builds, I know the cons but this is only a project till then.
