Well i got a beat down wraith second hand from a friend for practically nothing the other day and its been sitting on a shelf with a pile of brakeline waiting for inspiration. Figured i already have a little scx10 buggy project almost done and a really scale ascender thats 95% complete so what dont i have....a mega mud truck. Been really falling into the mega truck craze as we have several local mud bogs that i take my 1:1 truck to So natrually why not have a little one i can take to show off. Choosing the Vaterra Blazer body partially because i am a squarebody chevy fanatic and because the large size of the body will look very good on the wide ar60's. Just a start but stay tuned for all the building stuff and witty truck name crap. Havent nailed down the ride hight yet. I like the big stock bodied boggers and the low slung race trucks. It will have an interior and cut fenders Just a few real life mud slingers Lil girl loves the mud bogs ... .... ..... Last edited by THX_138; 02-24-2016 at 08:55 PM. |

Well got the chassis finito. First layer of primer on. Gonna sand it good then pick up some color tomorrow. Not sure on that yet as i havent choosen a name for it. Ordered a new body. Gonna cut the top off and some large fender openings. I would like to run the new mud basher tires but i will have to see. They are huge and not too sure they will look right.
