I'm so glad you cut the doors! It's a bit disappointing that RC4WD didn't spec that into the build, but at least it gives some customizing...

Nice looking truck! Great working cutting out the doors and making that look nice!

What did you change with the motor mount and why?

 

[VR6 BeelzeDub]

nice and the narrower hubs are much better. What foams are you using? I have the Fuels also but on a 1.9" wheel and the tires "sag" too much with the stock foams they came with.

I like the mods you've done to it, that motor position is a lot better

Hi

There were some modifications again!

- first the tires got a new foam. the old was too soft

the crazy-crawler foam is always a good choice.... ;-)

little change due to different wheel sizes

- next step is to get a set scale driveshaft

- it is important to scale the emblems ;-)
