Fits really well, but doesn't look like you get much flex or steering at all. I think it looks |

Without a doubt you guys are right, I either have to do alot more trimming or smaller wheel/tire. I wonder how a 1.5 would look on here. I wish I had a set to try. These are actually 2.2 stretched onto a 1.9 tire. I like the look but not exactly for this rig...just what I had laying around. I wish I still had my darksouls.

I ran the same deal on my MRC. Flat irons, and the same body. Brings back old memories... It was used, and abused.... |

I didn't finish these as I need a better precision tool. These are too nice to mess up. My fav so far. I think I will get some wheel wideners for the little guy. Also will probably get a new coat of flat tan or black paint tomorrow.

Thought I would throw interior in this little rig. It is fun to work on. I also was trying to get another star trek figure for mt 1/10 scaler but when I got this one on ebay it turned out to be a small one. It works pretty good for the MRC. This body has very little actual room in the cab with the way the dash is set up. |

I have had a bunch of people ask me actually. I bought it from a guy on the site that sold it to me for lie $15 shipped. I didnt see any labels or anything telling me what it was. Maybe someone can tell from the original pics. I bought a smith mini torch and I think this will be my first attempt for brazing. I can see a nice little tube bumper and tube fenders would help a bunch. We will see how I do. |
