A++ . She turned out "Super" nice! Excellent paintjob and color scheme, black'n'blue was a great choice. Hopefully Santa has some Pitbulls set aside for you, then it'll be unstopable .

I think I have all the parts that fell off my truck from today...now where's that glue?

Looks sharp.

I actually did some work this weekend.





Got the inside all painted up Friday. Dragged everything out into the garage tonight so I could lay down some OD green on the outside, and was waiting for the air compressor to shut off, and my airbrush fell off the bench and broke.

Meh, $25 Harbor Freight special, not really what you'd call emotionally attached to it.

After seeing how nice the Honcho cagebed looks enclosed, I stumbled on this from DinkyRC. Not sure how it would line up with a Chevy cab, but I might have to "steal" your look, Super!

Got a new airbrush. Harbor Freight lowered the price down to $19.99 and hid 'em on the top shelf, but I found 'em.

I wasn't really planning on getting the whole thing done, but I was just havin' so danged much fun....... Had I taken my time, the woodlands camo would have come out much better. C'est la vie'!
I got one more thing I need to get done, brushing flat black on the trim. And I got one more thing I'd really like to get done, would love to get some SeaBee masks done so I can put Bees on the hood and tailgate.

Enough babble,babble,blah,blah,blah.......... on with the pics!

Okay, I'm calling it done.

Got called into work on my day off, figured I'd make use of the retention pond out front.













Kinda wished I'da had a wheelman there so I could get some video on the phone, but still had some fun.

Looks great, hopefully we'll be able to do some trail runs with you either here or out your way. Super and I must've logged a hundred miles worth of runs in the last few months...sure would be nice to have another wheeler in the group .

Default 2013 Tuber build

As promised, here's some shots of the 2013 tuber (roller). I used the last pair of axles I had on hand. WK axles *front/rear steer*, Axial trans, MIP D-shafts, Team Zero comp shocks, Revo ends/8-32 rod/alum tube, and various odds and ends.

Looking good! I might have to try rear steer now too (Gotta be like the cool kids)
I took the axles apart on the "toooober" to look them over and clean "em up. It was a good thing I did, rear gears were shot. Re-wiring the lights so they all stay on.

Lights, yes! My baby needs some skins too. And probably snow chains by the time it's done . Hopefully it's as capable on the rocks as yours. The rear steer idea was something I've wanted to try...might be handy for crawling or just fun to mess with.
