1/6th Jesse James Silverado SS

[greengoblin]

This is my first 1/6th hard body build. I lucked up and found one of the 6th scale monstersto build. So what i did was remove all the toy grade electronics and everything from the bed. I then proceeded to clean the body of all the details, dirt and grime. I then applied three coats of plasti dip to the body. I then place the order for all the parts that I think I will need.

List of parts i will be using.

The frame will bee 1/4 x 1/4 solid squar stock or 1/2 x 1/2 Square stock. I would like to be able to use the floor pan. Make it bolt into the frame that way it has the appearance of the bottom the truck. Doing this will also let me retain the inner fenders from the stock floor pan.

As long as the wife doesn't look through your posts on here, you're fine, if she does, you better have a good way to make it up to her

This thing is going to be hard to tame with the MMM2 combo no? Mine tends to cog at low speed being un-sensored in my 1/8 MT4. Unless you're looking for a solid axle missile

Like the SSD axles, definitely look solid.

[greengoblin]

The MM2 is just to get it running. It will get a 1/8th brushless sensored setup before too long.
