my first truck and the best fun ive had

Post by treehugger »

Hi being a newbie ive sorta sat on the sidelines ive read almost every post in here and ive come to the conclution that i like it alot :lol: anyway back to the truck its a rpm i picked up on fee bay a couple of weeks back someone had tried to dye it blue and failed it was a funky sorta grey i tried every idea to get it back to white but in the end had to go black .
i have some more shocks on the way original hard body t2s and some new wheels and tires the body is a basher body and will do for now.
ant the last pic is where i spend about thirty hours a week :D

that thing looks great compared to how it looked on fleebay a few weeks ago. post up an original pic before you cleaned it up so everyone can see what you started with if you can. i had my eye on this one back when it was listed.

Its looking great!
I'll be starting a similar build thread... maybe tonight!
I just got a tub truck with the same body and shittier body paint job.
My first truck too. :D I can't believe that's your first truck and your hobby room looks like that!
Have you ran it yet?
JRX2 in the late 80s... have since come to my senses with the RC10T, yes of course it's vintage! Wife is always destroying her Tamiaya LunchBox to call me her personal mechanic a few more times. Enjoying the fresh build of an RJ Speed Digger.

I was watching that one too. Had I not bought a bunch of other crap that week, you'd have paid more for it :lol: Looks like it cleaned up real nice, great looking truck.
