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! :)

Re: changing from 1985 blue blazer to 1973 proline racing dark green and white bronco
 

I just got done fitting those same bumpers to my Ascender!

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.

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/traxx...cs-trx4-3.html

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

Re: changing from 1985 blue blazer to 1973 proline racing dark green and white bronco
 

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?:)

Re: changing from 1985 blue blazer to 1973 proline racing dark green and white bronco
 

yeah proline racing bronco.
