Some. I got the body pretty well lined out. I still have to do the rest of the interior and get a new ESC.

If anyone else is going to make one, a cool idea would be a rear hinge body like a funny car with custom cage inside!

I was going to do that very thing. I have magnetic tape as well as some very thin magnets to use. It'll get ran at carshows and basically that's it. It's a shelf queen for sure.

Thanks man. I did a Clod Lowrider a while back in this same section. Other than that I have done a couple of touring bodies. Both lexan, but the favorite is the Transam.

They all have to be modified it seems. :mrgreen:

I've got a few things in front of this beast, but it'll either get done this winter or sold this winter, not sure which yet.

Re: The Chop Shop- Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

Hay bra any update on the k5.

Re: The Chop Shop- Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

Nope. It may be going up for sale soon. I've just lost interest in it for now.

Well I would love to have it but Im broke as a joke and not happy. Been hard to find work.

Re: The Chop Shop- Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

Just stumbled across this build, just an amazing, ultra cool - very well conceived and thought out build. Just love this build. Question, I just started a tube frame "shop truck" build, and am also using the funny car components, for the front suspension but haven't received the parts yet. If you still have the Blazer, can you tell me what the front track width is please? I am considering cutting the carrier in half, to get the width I need for my body - which I also can't start yet until i figure out my exact front and rear track width as this build will also be a low rider, and 2WD as well. Thanks!

Re: The Chop Shop- Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

As much as I want to see that car do wheelies, I also don't want to see a beautiful body like that get all scratched up.

very cool!!"thumbsup"

Re: The Chop Shop- Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

Re: Pro Street K5 Blazer Project - Traxxas funny car meets Ascender

Do you have any shots of what the new owner has done to it?

Update on this truck since it has changed hands of ownership. Truck is in Kentucky and will be getting some updates mainly chassis will be getting switched to Aluminum along with aluminum tubs for the rear and eventually a interior hopefully full scale from DinkyRC. Seen this up for sale and just had to have it. Progress won't be quick and hopefully will be back up driving soon! If you want to follow the truck on Facebook please look for NKY RC ACTION as updates will be there faster.

This girl is now in The great state of Georgia and will be getting a tube chassis soon.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cc8c59b997.jpg

If you're using Chrome or Firefox browser, there are plugins that let photobucket photo's show up. Works awesome.
