Almost done!





Made the body mounts using styrene, very small neo mags, and the original body mounts from the scx24 which are glued to the cab.

I got the body off a gentleman over on the Facebook group we have going. Turns out he wasn’t the only owner and he received it in the black color. The paint was so well done on it I had no idea until I started to cut into the cab and saw the bare resin color!

I’m planning on doing a flat military green or teal for the cab and either a metallic green or orange for the tube work and frame.

I usually stick with flat black for builds because im a horrendous painter and it seems it’s the only color I can get right!

It’s always good hearing from you man! Stay in touch!

Just going to get straight to the point. Willy goat has changed a bit since last time. I beat the shit outta her and broke a bunch of things and this is where she’s at now.

I also did some work under the “hood”. Spun the motor around 180 degree to allow room for a new battery tray that’ll take a 500mah 3s Lipo.

Now if furitek releases the iguana pro esc and their avatar rx/tx I’ll be able to put this “stroker” motor in.
