Yup. Just need to finish up cab metal work, dissemble to paint the chassis, reassemble and add FreqEsKinz wrap.

I am ready to fire this thing up too.

Rear tunnel work and trimmed body with tube fenders.








Double shear suspension plates bent and welded in. From SMW.
Outside the subframe for less triangulation. Dont need it on these heavy rigs as much.

psshh, you think this is my first CXT build? I subcontract that out to the experts at Skinz Wraps Decals and Wraith Skins for Axial Losi Futaba Spektrum and More.

I spec'd out a cut down CXT cab on my last build.

Shane, what is the purpose of the rear tunnel? is that where the fuel cell would be?

I dunno, it's a cool one. Eddie had a bad crash with it and it's now at JWalker Designs getting repaired.

Looks and sponsor decal real estate.
Found a pic of the 1:1. Just a steel frame and panels.

I dont. I have had 5 of these cabs over the years. Ended up reselling two and building the other 3 up.
I kinda wanna do a 6 door build one day.
