Spicer18OR 07-24-2007 10:18 PM

decided to paint the body up a lil... but now it needs some stickers for the door and bedsides. I think a couple Dorkstar and ORCRC stickers would be just perfect for it;)

now i just need to weld a couple more support bars in and paint up the frame and tubing:cool:

Awesome. I think it's missing something up top. Like a rack and some big ole lights lol. Maybe more tube around the front too.

JIA's Dad 07-24-2007 11:32 PM

I'm still looking for where the servo is mounted?

wow that truck looks very unique and i like the fact that you cant see the electronics meaning the servo now it looks real . great work..

2Crawlers 07-25-2007 12:57 AM

Cool truck! I think the tubed look makes the truck.

RedNeck Rc 07-25-2007 09:16 AM

What did you use to bend the square tubing? Great looking truck too.

cembom 07-25-2007 10:33 AM

I think I might see the servo
