Also about half an hour ago i decided it needs the mirrors. So i cut the base off them so they aren't so chunky, painted them, and glued them on. I think its looks pretty cool   |

Thanks man, i been thinkin I'll luv have a pair of servos on the so i can just drop the back to start with. Then I'll work on the front later on. Im still waiting on the rear hubs and once i get them and mount the body it'll be driveable. |

Finally an update, a big one too. The body is mounted and it drives. I put a pair of rims without tyres on the back and its actually fairly easy to control. Im pretty happy with how it handles, very responsive steering too. I will post some pictures and a video of me drifting it around a cup for about a minutes before i lost it Haha. |

I wonder how it would look with the tamiya king hauler wheels on it, may not look right without the dually bed. I know your pretty far along with this body, but with the amount of work your putting into it I'd be on the lookout for a jugg body. I don't know why tamiya used the small wheel openings on the monster trucks, and the big ones on the scale trucks. Awesome build.

I actually did think about those wheels, im still keen to see what they'd look like and if they'd fit. But i don't think I'll be putting another body on it tho, this one cost too much and took way too long to get to just change. And thanks |
