Rc addict dash and seat. Floor is just styrene glued to the back of the dash. I need to find a different driver though. Cheech looks like Andre the giant in there.

Ditched the spare today and made a filler piece.

This is quite a wobbly wheel build! Very nice!

So what material is the filler piece? plastic or what?
I've wanted to do the same but haven't found anything thin and light enough yet.

Just a piece of .040 styrene. Still doesn't sit perfectly flat. Some weird bends in that cage.

Took the trucks out to a crawler course in Brush Prairie. Was pretty happy with the K10. The Blazer was tortured by my 7 yo, so now I have a front trans/driveline issue to investigate.

Finished my tool box build and due to an initial issue with a faulty ruler ended up with a cooler as well. I'm thinking I'll glue them to the insert on the bed here. Removable, should I want to run the spare again. Less chance of losing them in a roll over as well.

Well the ascender have a problem the way they spaced the diff they put two spacers on one side and none on the other so that might make it have a little wobble easy fix just get s spacer to put in it

Has anyone touched on or even had a problem removing the bolt that holds the spare tire on. Mine is acting as if it is over tightened from factory and wants to round in the plastic holder.
