Nice truck, what tire is that for your spare?

French cruller on the dash does it for me.

Yup, luckily the interior was fully complete when I got the truck. Well, minus rear view and side view mirrors, which I ordered.

You paint up the cab and do the interior?

[SteveC6R]

No, another member here did. I bought it from him and did the 3 link up front with Gelande hoops and put the Yota II axle in the rear if it's all still there. I can PM you the original build thread if you like.

Ahh. Sounds like it's been around. Cause I got it from a guy in AZ. Shoot me the thread. or post here. I don't mind.

Gelande hoops and 3 link setup is the same up front. Leafs still out back. I did have to drill another set of holes in the hoops to accommodate the new axle shock mounts. Only thing I am going to change up is the skid in the near future

Just ordered up one of these low pro skids to try out.

Thanks but I cannot take credit for cab painting and 3-link/ rear spring setup, as I got the truck as a RTR setup. Just hacked together some stuff to make the flatbed and front axle steer awesome.

Helios RC 3D nylon skid printed by Shapeways. Took 4 days to print/process and I had a $10 off code so I sprang for $15 next day air.
Came in white and I dyed it orange.
It was meant for a front leaf spring setup but I am running a 3-link. Nothing a little notching with a dremel can't fix.

Dremel work

I look forward to hearing your reaction. I was so hooked after the first test run that I refused to give Nick the prototype back until I had the production version, lol.

Should be a great upgrade piece. I messaged him on FB to let him know it wouldn't bolt onto a 3-link front setup but it wasn't hard to use a sanding drum and a dremel to make it fit. There was one other minor issue with hole placement that I let him know about as well. None of them would deter me from telling others to buy/use them.

Lights. Front inner fenders look cheesy in these pictures.

The build is looking great man! How are you liking the front steering setup?

Liking to the best of my best ability. Caster and more steering is what these yota trucks need to be up there with other RTR and kits. Makes it a whole new rig.
