Started my build(UPDATED PICS)
 

Well I still have a cast on my hand so working on this little booger is a challenge, but I couldn't take it any more.

I lengthened the rear links to 1 7/8ths, to match my Courier body(2-56 all thread and 1/8th tubing). The driveshaft I lengthened using a silver pen like the one in the last pic. It had a plastic sleeve inside that I drilled out a little to fit the driveshaft(15/64th). I will update with pics as I go along. Thanks for looking

what body are you going to run?

FORD Courier

Looks like a great start! I will be watching..

ill be watching too, were did you get those tires?:?

The tires/wheels are So-Reals(static models. There are Urethane tires offered on the E-Bay that are the same tread pattern). They are a little hard for crawling, so I will used weighted LOSI rim/tires(just got my BWD stuff)for the tough trails.

thanks on the tire info."thumbsup" i asked Paul there if he could make a set of Ground Hawgs or SS Thornbirds. lets hope anyway.

nice truck! love the driveshafts! "thumbsup"

The cast on my hand is gone, so I got some work done......

I still have to re-locate the ESC and battery(thinking about using the bed as it came with a bedcover) and make some bumpers/sliders/cage(maybe) and find a good way of mounting the bed.

very cool, i love the tires"thumbsup"

"thumbsup"looks nice

More updates. I got the body mounted, so now its time for bumpers and maybe a cage. Slow going but this is what I have so far.....

Just using CA and some modeling putty(to help simulate welds). I will tie the cage into the longer angled pieces off the front bumper. More to come....

More updates. I dumped the plastic cage idea and went with this......

Not 100% square(I'm using 1/8th galvanized wire), but I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the bed yet.
