New builders kit project

3D printed wipers finally. This was a lot more of a pain than I was expecting.

I got the TRX-4 tactical shocks and springs in and mounted them up.

I'm glad these work with the kit! I'm not too impressed with the stock shocks, but I do own a few TRX-4's and love those shocks. Looks like those will be on my upgrade list

New custom scalerfab front bumper. Going to powder coat it this weekend I think with some textured black.

Little update here. Found some Cherokee fender liners on Thingieverse. Printing them now to see how well they fit.

Closeup of the fronts installed. Came out pretty decent. Not perfect but good enough for me. Rears are on the printer now.

Rears are finished and installed. I'm pretty impressed with these files they print pretty well and are spot on for fit. They required some modification on the rears because the Bronco body is so much shorter than the Axial Cherokee. The width front and rear is spot on and a perfect fit. The connector pieces between the rears and the slider trays is a nice touch.

that's a good looking truck. The scx10.2 is going to be my first build. Hope it turns out half as good as yours.

well done. However, you should have used magnets to mount the body.
