The body is a Peterbuilt BIG RIG by Proline. Colors are 5 coats True Blue Candy with 3 coats of gloss black, Hand painted black flame accents, 6 coats of Indy Silver, 3 coats of grape pearl followed by 2 coats of gloss black.

tires are on backwards

AdamF · 04-16-2005, 04:09 PM

Yup tires are on backwards.

That's a pretty cool looking body. But you really need to paint the windows black. It doesnt look right with them painted silver.

jakhammer · 04-16-2005, 04:15 PM

yeah, tires are on backwards on purpose. was testing to see if they worked any better backwards.

I had planned to paint them black, but a brain fart at 6am caused silver windows. I might cut some tint and put it on the outside. not real sure as of right now.

Moms going to kick your arse for marking on the wall!!! Looks good though!

BoilermakerFan · 04-16-2005, 08:32 PM

Move your batt to the front! The TSC chassis has two batt mounts, but you want the weight over the front axle for crawling. Otherwise, you'll tip over backwards when you climb up a rock face.

rckjeep · 04-16-2005, 10:57 PM

Very cool but why didn't you mask off the windows?

jakhammer · 04-17-2005, 05:17 AM

mom kicking my arse.... lol, my wife maybe, but the Mr. Clean magic eraser works wonders

the body dont allow the battery to be in the front. its way to narrow. I might fab up someting later.

I didnt mask the windows because it was 6am and I was getting ready to head to bed when I sprayed the first coat of silver. after I sprayed it I realized I forgot to mask them. Like I said, I had a big brain fart. Maybe I will just cut them out.

battery and tires are fine.. just turn the body around! lol

I think the silver window tint is bitchin!

Plays_with_Toys · 04-17-2005, 11:25 AM

Chris, try moving one of the crossbeams to the lower battery bar position, then put the battery laying on it and the top of the servo. strap it in place and you have a bulu like battery setup, battery is in the front and you can fit the body on

BTW, my TSC won the backflip award at the comp yesterday. Its unofficial since it was me and my girl that saw it happen, but we have it on video, which will be coming out later this week.

I want to widen my truck for sure. Gotta order some blackfoot axles.

Magic · 04-17-2005, 01:14 PM

jakhammer · 01-18-2006, 02:32 PM

holly old thread batman.

Glad you guys still like it. Its been all hacked and modded now. Same chassic with laydown trans, longer WB, and moabs. I havent even used it since I bought the moabs. This truck has pretty much turned into a shelf queen like the rest of my RC stuff. Been busy working on drag racing stuff.
