Default 00racer's TF2

Just another TF2. I did some trading and some side jobs so I could pick one up.



I bought some Pit Bull Growlers, they were a bit tricky to mount so I had to resort to the old bolt through the center to mount them





scale hubs



I wanted to be more scale with left hand drive and servo on the left so this is what I came up with























picked up some Rough Country shocks





Cut out the grill and added some mesh behind it

I got lazy and didn't take any pics of the body work till now. I filled and removed most of the body lines to give it a cleaner look

I decided that I would rework the dash a bit and go with a gen3, it's just the start but no turning back now

Looks great so far bud. I've got a Han Solo for my TF2 driver for whenever I get around to building my interior.

I'm digging your shift servo placement. Very clean.

Since I cut the grill out I had to build something to hide the engine compartment so I built a faux radiator







The body is ready for paint, still going to do some stripes on it but haven't made up my mind on what kind and color





Just some mock up pics









Made some bed rails out of diamond plate
