Default Tow Pig

I wanted to build a new tow rig to pull my cars around at the races the winnebago is to fricken heavy.

This is what i got done so far
Proline top kick body
Scx frame lengthened and notched
mrc rear axle
cupracer front suspension
wraith wheels modded to look like dually wheels
1.9 touring rubber

Plans are
servos for airride suspension
some kind of interior
scx trans

More pics to come when i get my camera back

Finally got a camera so i snapped a few pics of what i got so far on the suspension. I may modify the front to get some more travel out of it.
Thank you for all the compliments.
Enjoy
