Default another tf2 build... tip of the hat to the ironman

this is my second tf2 build, i didnt plan to get another one but this one kinda fell in my lap when a guy in my rc traders club built it and it wasnt his cup of tea. i had an emaxx sitting on the shelf, he wanted a big go-fast and im always willing to give a leaf rig a new home, so a trade was hatched.

Day 2-

Decided to keep the flatbed, a guy in my neighborhood has a similar 1:1 yota and it's just cool with that flat back look.


A rough mockup after mounting the cab back and a better wheel tire combo( still trying to decide if they are too big)

Now here's where ironman comes in... Anyone remember Ivan Stewart and how big he was in desert racing? Out of all the yota bodies I've seen done, I've never seen one painted like his..


Shiny white base..

The body came out great, so an interior was in order...
Pretty standard bruiser bench with my favorite driver bob


Hope nobody minds he likes to tip a few back on the trail.

Got bob, the one in the white truck, and Doug in the grey truck in a set off eBay. Search "bob and Doug Mckenzie figures" they come as a set with a bunch of other stuff, a set from their skit from sctv, beer cases, bottles, a cooler, grill, and a whole bunch of other stuff

Paint job looks good...I used to love to play the ironman video game just wish my rc had a turbo button like the game did!
