|  Scorwler
OK it's not a crawler… but I'm sure it can do much more than bashing in the sand  Here are a few picts of the starting of my SCORWLER™ First get rid of that awful front bumper… and of the too long and too low rear cage   Better rear clearance  and front  Small rear protection  and front  Next step : sliders |

Back from the Alpes, I found some time to work on my Scorwler project. PS : I brought some video souvenirs (OK it's not a Tamiya but it is great fun to ride) : http://www.youtube.com/user/fullspee.../0/AqhgNCabdEY and http://www.youtube.com/user/fullspee.../1/r3dqe0exuT8 Today : the sliders         |

Very nice  Had one of those, new, as a teen. Raced it against frogs and grasshoppers for a couple years. It was always fun throwing the rear end around corners on the track! I like the undercarriage bars. Keep posting where you take it next! |

Next… Certainly the more boring part of the job : killing the see through     Lights on…   Fuel cap lost…  I begin to like its look…  Next step : finaly add colors  Question of the day : the sideview mirrors ! Should I put them or not ? |

Next… Important step… the paint preparation… it takes a lot of time ! And it's not over yet…   Just painted the rims and reshaped the tires.   |

This is by far the best build I have seen in along time. It deserves to be ran and not just set on a shelf. Good job. If it is ever for sale please let me know. You have built my dream rig.

| Re: Scorwler
I'm sorry for bringing up an old thread but I just found it and I think your build is awesome looking. I'm trying to build a scale truck and I have a few questions. Where can I get a whip antenna like yours for my truck? Also how did you make the right door look like it was welded? Thanks in advanced for the help.
