So for a while I have been tinkering away in the background on a scale 76 Ford F150 build.
The build started of as a standard Carisma Scale Adventure F150 RTR and has slowly been tweaked to suit my vision.
First up was to replace the standard axles with a set of MST CMX axles. This would make the beginnings of getting the wheels tucked as much as possible. To assist I also got a set of RC4WD 1.55 stamped steel wheels as these have the most amount of negative offset.
So with the axles sorted my next focus was the ride height.
I am looking for the lowest possible ride height whilst maintaining the drop bed insert so much fettling was done with shock sizes and positions.
Considering it is running coils on the rear I am super happy with its mild lift look.
Tyres are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ which would be the equivalent to a 33 inch tyre so well suited to the F150.
Other scale things have been done such as the faux rear window slider, the dual rancho steering stabiliser setup up front and the scale side steps.
I am super happy with how it is at the moment but will press on with more minor detail updates to see how far I can take it.
For the time being I will leave some photos down below to show off the truck.
Please feel free to comment/ask questions
