What did Santa bring you?

Great choice of parts, looks to be an awesome build

What was the price tag on it and does it include the leafs? If not, what do they recommend?

[Super]

Was kinda pricey...$396.00 shipped. No it doesn't come with leaf springs they recommend Tamiya 9808091 Springs and the soft red rc4wd springs with the helpers in the front. They also recommend ECX213000 shocks. Gonna try them out only $12.

Nice . I think I'd be willing to part with my TF 2 for a build like this.

You need a leafsprung truck.....that runs.

[TrailDawg362]

True enough. Not sure if I'd be happy with a leafsprung rig again though. Kinda like the twisty/flexy .

[Super]

My truck is gonna need a buddy.

[TrailDawg362]

They're out of stock, you bought the last one!

[Super]

I think I did. Are you looking at getting one?

[TrailDawg362]

I looked at them awhile ago on their website, just out of curiosity. They look damn nice! If I found a body I really liked, I might consider it.

[Super]

Well start lookin'.

Not working?

[TrailDawg362]

Funeral leave, Pops checked out Tuesday morning.

[Super]

Bummer. All good? No regrets?

[TrailDawg362]

All good.

Where can I find a 50's style interior? I've been looking and I can't seem to find one. Someone used to make one for the orig. scx10 body I think.

[TrailDawg362]

Hmmm, that's a tough one. I don't think I've seen anything pre-made for that vintage. Since the interiors of early 50's trucks were pretty minimal you might be able to put something together from various parts sources. You could go bench seat or buckets, and a steering wheel and shifter and you're halfway there. Or you could go the Pro Street/Race route.
