|  Roxanne...... axialfest build
I am planning on going to axialfest next month at cisco grove but I have to much stuff to carry around .. So I got to thinking that maybe a support truck of somesort would be ideal. Something that could haul my crawler and tools around so my lazy ass wouldnt have to.... My truck will be kinda somewhat half assed based on a local truck except lifted and 6wd... Heres a few pics of the jdt truck..

So I set about building the frame next. I went to the steel supply shop and got some 1/2x1/2 square tube.. The frame is pretty simple no bends just straight rails with a few cross members.. I powder coated it neon orange metallic and ordered the vanquish links I needed and then set about finding the rest of the parts I needed.. Here's a few pics of the truck fresh out of the oven.

| Re: Roxanne...... axialfest build
Bought up a wraith transmission and 3 sets up ax 10 axles... Im running a titian motor out of a summit for power and a mmp with a castle bec and hi tec 645 for steering.. My shocks are from the parts box and so are the losi mudflaps from a scte. The light kit is from the wraith parts box and the losi rock claws are hand me downs.. The axial 2.2 wheels are a pain in the ass to find when you need 10 of them and no one seems to stock them anymore.. I am no wiring guy so the final wiring will be done by someone with better skills than me... I have had this truck done for about a month so some of the pics show how it has evolved.. I am still in the parts breakage stage.. I need to address the steering,wiring and trans gears before its done..

Nice work! I'll be looking for you at Axialfest. You going to change the tires before hand? Might get some flak for running Losi tires. BTW, nice trailer too. |

| Re: Roxanne...... axialfest build
Not gonna change tires unless axial wants to throw 10 tires my way.. It would look pretty nice with the new bfg s on it.. Took it out yesterday and beat on it pretty hard.. The stock wraith transmission blew up so I swapped in an ax 10 trans with all steel gears and ran the rest of the day until the pass through axle gave up... So needless to say rpp has another order coming from me..
