Im not a huge scale fan but holy shiat!! I love how the motor is hidden inside the engine block and the trans almost looks like a real transmission!

Pick up the pace man, I can wait to see some more of this one!!

it's finally starting to look like something and I have GOT to get a new camera. I think this one's been left out in the rain too many times

working on the engine now -
that is crazy awesome, now you just need some lexan and you can mold a cover to look like a tranny.

is this going to be a 2wd or 4wd, and if 4wd what are you using for a T-case?

it will be 4x4 but I'm not sure on transfer case yet. I'm thinking either make a chain t-case, or use two pede diffs ( lock them and put them in a case running directly against each other.) Either way I need it to be 1:1 ratio.

While I'm thinking about it, I need a name for this truck. anybody got idea's? ( besides JB ) j/k I know you'll come up with something great.

what kind of reduction does the drill part offer? Did you just have it lying around and decided to use it or did you buy it for that purpose?

As for names, Danger Ranger is all that came to mind... Sounds kind of dorky to me, but what can you do with a migraine headache?

TIME FOR AN UPDATE!!!! I built a transfer case, got front links, shocks, and threw on some tires for a mock shot. I didn't think it was possible to make savage shocks look small untill I got them mounted.

The transfer case is two pede diffs, locked and put in a case I built. works perfect, I just hope it will hold the torque.
