Default changing from 1985 blue blazer to 1973 proline racing dark green and white bronco .

Great looking trucks, I’ve read good things about that body hole marking tool too!

I am trying to make my own version of the SSD Aluminum Front Bumper Black For Traxxas TRX-4 Axial SCX10 II #SSD0020

https://www.amainhobbies.com/ssd-rc-...03/p698466?r=0

like on the older style of Blue chevy C10 with this SSD bumpers front and rear.

bilinvic's TRX4

First attempt for brackets made for rear bumper. Second set of holes made the bracket move down the chassis 8mm and lowered the bracket 4mm

almost done with my Vaterra Ascender proline racing bronco body. I have to create my own window masking as it did not come with any.

Coming along nicely. Is the Proline version of the Bronco also have a lower profile(not as tall) than the Vaterra?

How about sliders to protect those rocker panels?
