Man Nice work on the truck and the paint! I bought some similar rock rings from the Mill ;) But they were a little to small so need to find the right size now. |

yeah, it's a s-10 stadium truck body......wish i could find another one though. was given to me by young version awhile ago. this build was fun the cost of everything mostly went to the electronics mostly. thanks for the compliments guys |

I like it simple yet effective great job, the colors are awsome because they give it that negative photo effect, i had to do a double take to see if they where are not! Love it. just noticed a lot of brass by the pinnion on the axles, did you use bushings there? |
