Glad to see that your up an running........would've really sucked sitting there staring at it, waiting for a new esc to arrive. Now get it dirty, break stuff, post the carnage, then go buy new stuff

Cheers,
Wade

Oh, a Wraith interior.
I'd been thinking I'd make mine out of styrene but depending on how yours turns out, I might go your way

Looks pretty good to me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4tLwuoKwfk

I totally understand folks wanting to "make it your own" and I will in time but I can't make seats or a console and shifter that look that good.

Yeah, I've already seen it.
The thing that put me off was the way the seats sat soooooooooo far back, it doesn't look right and the figures might look a bit stretched leaning forwards towards the steering wheel.
I think I'll do that mod though and stretch the boxes the seats sit on forwards a bit and that should look quite cool.

How's the truck going?

How's the truck going?

Rather well!

Other than needing a new servo and having some esc shutoff issues here and there the "Hung Monkey" (rig's name) is kickin A! Waiting on replacement interior decals that Axial can't seem to provide. The originals didn't survive removal when I painted the interior. They don't have a part number for them but I'm going to pursue them relentlessly.

I like the matte desert tan paint job I did on the body but it matches dried mud flawlessly and totally masks it on the body. Also makes the bumper and stuff look like it got over sprayed when I painted or something.

You can see a soft top in the works there as well, just gotta figure out how I'm going to attach the finished cut.

Most of my details have been handmade, the tree strap, land anchor, tow hooks, shackles, tow strap, cargo net, padded functional sleeping bag, log pile, hood snorkel, wheel wells and the awesome bungee cords I whipped up.

I can't get enough of the scale stuff! I've been fooling around with videos as well and planning to get a good camera and make some awesome scale videos this Summer.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to attach this many photos before?
