Looks awesome! Now all it needs is a winch with no cable and a door a different color to be true redneck truck.

smallcrawler · 11-17-2005, 03:10 AM

It looks wiked with body on:-P. I'd like to know some specs on it

fullmodtxt · 11-17-2005, 06:56 AM

Sorry, didn't notice that the truck sits on a fully custom built frame. It appears to be basically the same size/shape as a bruiser frame, so I just assumed it was a bruiser frame with a custom cage. That'll teach me to look more closely next time, won't it! I like the truck even more now that I know it is a fully custom built frame!

madhatter · 11-18-2005, 08:52 PM

Thanks again guys it does help getting good feed back!
All the questions and mentions of the frame mounted links is are valled and it will probably get a skid plate once it gets redone. As it stands now the drivetrain keeps ripping it apart so it will probably get a pede trans and a lathe motor for next summer.
The Emaxx trans has already been pulled to to be fitted into an outlaw mud bogger. A friend of mine is starting a sort of rc jamboree and he's puting in a mud bog to attract some more interest in the hobbie. Plus come on MUD RACING!!!

wheelspinner · 11-20-2005, 06:30 PM

this is one of the most realistic builds i've ever seen. it would be cool to do that jamboree and have mud running and r/c swamp buggies:-P have any action shots?

gooba · 11-20-2005, 09:31 PM

sweet rig man. make me miss my old 71 ford. i noticed the little lowrider drag truck thingy in the one pic though got any info on it?

crawldaddy · 11-21-2005, 03:10 PM

By far one of the best scale paint jobs that Ive seen on a truck. All that its missing is a confederate flag and some truck nuts hang'in off the rear axle.

racerx · 11-21-2005, 10:04 PM

Truck nuts are GAY!!!

madhatter · 11-22-2005, 04:33 AM

Truck nuts are gay but they are true red neck! I just haven't been able to get around to making a set yet.

As for the little toyota.....Its going to be a drag truck as soon as I can get some hubs for it. Its also got a custom chassis but is all tube frame. Not all the bars are in yet so you don't have to point it out thanx! The diff is an emaxx and the front is 12th scale pan car. I never posted anything here just because its by no means a crawler!

It looks like an e-maxx tranny, locked into low. The tires are imex swamp dawgs, The shocks look like MAXX ones, Cant tell you length or something. Custom tube frame, TLT or TXT diffs

madhatter · 11-22-2005, 10:22 AM

Crawlerkid, Sorry if I didn't give any spec's on the truck I thought they were in the post earlier. The trans is Emaxx but it does have the shifter hooked up still. the axles are TLT with the rear locked only for now, just because I tried racing it when I first took it out. Needless to say it sucked! . The shocks are emaxx up front and pede in the back for racing, but usually the back are the longer emaxx. The tires are swamp dawgs in the first pics and pede tires in the last pics. I found that the swamp dawgs were peeling off at high speed! Good for crawlin but bad for racing! the frame is custom formed using 20gauge steel and the cage is all 3/16 tubing. The links are custom built aswell. Wheels are weighted pede ones that have been narrowed. The body itself is a proline with a styrene box and tool box. and the flairs are off the kit bashed emaxx.

Hope this anwsers your questions thanks for looking.

racerx · 11-22-2005, 07:29 PM

I saw a "Red-Neck" truck the other day W/ a large link chain W/ some HUGE hex nuts welded to the chain and looped over something in the center rear of the truck. MUCH cooler and less gay than a plastic scrot!! Would be alot easier to make in scale...

madhatter · 11-22-2005, 07:44 PM

very interesting!

mikhail · 11-24-2005, 06:41 PM

This truck is so sweet it should stay on the first page of this forum for a while.

microgoat · 11-24-2005, 07:40 PM

naw, it needs a vise welded to the back bumper!

and a gun rack!

madhatter · 11-24-2005, 11:52 PM

just did up a set of nuts welded to chain like racerx mentioned and I must say I like it! Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the motor and trans in and maybe get some action shots for the weekend.

I got to finish the cleveses for the front bumper here right away

The gun rack idea is classis. That would look perfect on this truck.

Add some beer cans to the bed.

Vise welded to the bumper...... that IS Redneck!

I have my vise welded to a piece of 2" that slides into the receiver hitch. ;)
