Default 66 Ford

Here's the start of my 66 Ford basher. Thinking 1.9's right now but might go with 2.2's.





Next to Megatiller

Wow Trenton, looks like Megatiller has a brother now! That red and black turned out great too.

I was wondering what you were up to these days. Good to see the NATIONAL CHAMP is still having fun building trucks. Took me about 6 months to even want to look at them after 2014 champs

Bad ass looking truck Trenton! The axles look a bit wide for those 1.9's for my taste, but it's your truck of course.

Thanks! Yea I enjoy the building part just as much as driving them. Haven't touched the crawlers since Nats...but gotta get out to the next comp.

Well I'll post up the rest of the pics since it's been finished for a while now

It ended up on these tires and wheels since I drive it mostly on a dirt track with lots of jumps. As you can see it's been driven pretty hard!

The 2.2 look ok on there but if it was mine I think I would go with a little more aggressive tire. Or a Tamiya cold buster tire mite not be much of a crawler then.

I have some RC4WD 2.2 mud bashers that I could use, but those are for another project.

Thanks! Your probably thinking of Sam's TTC rig. I've gotten lots of inspiration from that!

Awesome rig! I'm guessing this is the smaller Stampede sized F100 body?
