Default From rags to riches.

Found this truck, it was a some cheap monster truck like toy.
Discarded on the street. But it looked like it got potential to be something more.
The body is from some soft plastic and light weight.
FCX24 based.
FCX24 carbon fiber chassis, real axles, FCX24 transmission, custom links, custom top link mounts, panhard bar, etc. Practically everything is custom.
Questions are welcome

To be fair trial released housings only. Internals for most are fms.
No, I don't like it. Housings are super nice. But they developed a lot of slop. They are old and being used a lot, though. It's the first batch of trial goodies for fms.

hey thanks for the feedback on them ... they do look really nice but is good to know about the cons. Maybe for a shelf queen but not something that gets lots of micro miles.
