Also, it never ceases to amaze me how realistic these RC parts are.

My apologies for such a slow response. I do appreciate your comments, Thank you.

I have all my models I built in 75 and 76. I used to love to build them, but then I found this side of the RC hobby, where they are bigger, and I can build and drive them.

The parts for these trucks have really become amazing at how close they resemble their full size counter parts. Its just crazy.

I finally have a little to show, I was able to shoe horn the 3-spd into the frame, I just had to clock it a little, to get my clearence on my front drive shaft. I also had to clock the T-case a little more then I wanted, but it was that or spend more money on a different trans and I didn't want to do that.

This is the chassis layout, now I have to get back to sanding the body.. ick !!







In these pics, I've started painting the shocks ( left over habit from my model building days ) and the other shiny stuff, I don't like shiny aluminum on my trucks..
