Wisconsin rigs

[TrailDawg362]

Small update on my summer runner build . MIP's intalled, HH 35T bolted in, electronics gathered up and ready to be tucked away, and some grill mods to get some steel upfront. I was thinking a simple tube style bumper for the rear. I'm kind of excited to see how she ends up. Anyway, some pics:

I want one now...

Are you gonna wire the ol' girl for lights right away too.

[TrailDawg362]

I have the full light kit from the first setup, so yes! The bumper is drilled for a winch, but I might just add a pair of Axial light buckets instead. By trimming the lower grill I lost the amber running lights, might have to find a way to squeeze those in. I'm thinking some rock lights might be cool for a night run .

[Super]

Did you think about trimming the lower part of the front fender to maybe clean it up a bit since you eliminated the stock bumper?

[TrailDawg362]

Yup, and that also means trimming the fender flares. I'm not sure what hieght the bumper will be yet, so I might hafta add a small strip back to fill in. I used the old grill, so I still have another shot to get it right!

[Super]

I think those flares are gonna set that truck off.

[TrailDawg362]

I hope so, they ain't cheap . I'm kinda going for a clean, sporty, mildly-lifted look. I'm trying my best to do it right this time.

If the Growlers don't work out, this would be another option at 4.33 inches tall.

Out of the box, they're nowhere near as capable as an Axial. Since mine's already paid for, I figured I might as well build it up till i like it. The "scale factor" is pretty cool, though.

[ATTACH] finnaly got my sticker on

[corporatelemon]

Thats what I want is a more scale truck I love my scx10s

[TrailDawg362]

I really shouldn't slam the TF too much, it is a very scale rig. I think I was expecting it to drive like a 4 linked coilover sprung SCX-10 which wasn't fair on my part. My Axials are all modded and go just about anywhere I want (I got spoiled!).

If you want one get it! Mine needs a trail buddy .

[Super]

Finished my trailer...

[TrailDawg362]

Very cool!

[crawlinisfun]

what noticed is I really need to clean up my work area and organize it like yours , and very nice work did you glue the wood in place?

[Super]

No I just dumped it in there.

[TrailDawg362]

So when you hit a bump, the drivers behind you get to dodge firewood? I like it!

[Super]

I'll take the ez lines. I need a chainsaw now.

[460bronco]

That's dedication to the hobby right there!

[TrailDawg362]

I agree with 460 .

Here's all I have to offer for now. Poser shots with the Growlers semi-mounted on reversed rims (slightly wider trackwidth) and flares taped on for a general idea of the final look.
