Default CAMbo35's S-10 truggy build

Im posting this for my friend since he is still waiting on his account activation after a week of waiting...
i got the crawler as a christmas gift and as soon as i opened it i started out by removing the shocks and broke them in the process so i deside to go full droop with limiting straps made out of dental floss

my cat ended up breaking the back half off so i ended up rebuilding it much stronger with the bed sides on it and added a stinger that helps it out alot

i like how you narrowed the front and rear of the s10. If i didn't look closely, i wouldn't of seen that you just cut the headlights off the grill.

Yes the tubing holds up great I had to hot glue the stinger on the front though for extra strength and so far haven't had any problems
