Much thanks. I keep wanting to add things to the trailer. Anxiety that I am going to miss a detail.

Starting a new build this coming week too

Thanks yall.

Hacking away a quick styrene interior. Floor isnt full depth but whatevs. Just some 0.060 and 0.040 styrene bent and glued and a few Axial pieces (shifters (one modified) and steering wheel). Seats are just bent 0.060 styrene.

Metal work done on the truck and trailer. Painted truck parts and waiting on a 0.6 mod pinion to final assemble and then lights.





Trailer is all done with fab. Disassemble, paint, reassemble and lights.

In my normal fabrication fashion, “it’ll do” aka “close enough” as well as “meh, looks ok”.

It was cool before, but the contrast paint makes it look awesome.

Lots of debate on the color but went ahead and went with it since there is a splat of darkish red on the body. And the snowmobile has red on it. Wired up the trailer last night, just need a 9v plug for the lights.

Waiting on a $8 pinion so I can final assemble the truck.

Awesome work - it's moving along quick! You're definitely keeping busy over there!!

[Szczerba]

Thanks. Been waiting on a pinion so I can put the truck back together. Still waiting.
Got it in the sun for further paint curing yesterday.

Thanks. 97.34% done with it. Need to glue the tires, add just a little bit of tire foam, clean up some of the esc wiring and final mount the front end of the body. I was going to make on/off switches for the trailer and truck lights but got lazy. Just micro deans plugs. Should be a fun trail type rig.
