|  MAN can't wait to get this build on.
Been wanting a military style recovery vehicle for a while now so I finally pulled the trigger on one. This one is made by Cross RC and it's fresh off the boat from China. Looks like a ton of plastic work and a lot of stuperglued fingers ahead of me lol. Tranny wheels/tires and axles come pre-assembled so that cuts some time down even though I need to go into all 3 and the trans to make sure they have enough grease in them. Really stoked to get this build going.  Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk |

Blasted through the chassis and I'm gonna blame it on the Chinese writing but somehow I managed to put the tranny in backwards and had to rotate it.     Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk |

Oh now that's cool. What color are you thinking, desert sand or olive green or something else even?

Lotta progress made today still going through all the painting and plastic work. I've chosen rust-oleum camouflage sand and matte black for all the accents. The bed was a bit of a pain in the ass to put together but once it dried back to smooth sailing. I can almost say this ones pretty much wrapped up but yall know me and my rigs they're never fully done. Here's some more pics.    Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk |

Finally got around to wiring up the esc setting the servo and hooking up the lights. Even took her for a night test run. Looks very promising so far the turning radius is actually pretty good for a 6x6     Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk |

MAN I'm slow.I just realized this is the same truck that northernerbill just finished! Looks good so far. Any idea on what the turning radius is?? Having seen some 6x6's it looks like you need half a football field to turn them around. And do you have an SCX or a TF that you can put next to it for a size comparison? Thanks Last edited by eemmaaxxxx; 03-22-2014 at 01:47 PM. |
