haven’t decided if I should convert this build to diesel, or use a more flashy big head engine. Leaning toward saving the diesel for a more simple build.

I think a few companies would offer bodies in white abs or lexan back in the 70’s. I have an abs Dynamic Mclaren body on my suspension car. Pretty sure I had the box for it but I think I shipped off another vintage body in it.

I decided to buy a few parts so I’m waiting on them to start assembling clean parts so I’m slacking on cleaning anything. Just kind of categorizing what I want to use. So far this is what ready to assemble. Looks like I need to drill and countersink a couple holes in the chassis to utilize all the h...

I had the basic TCR setup. I don’t remember liking it very much

Made some progress today. Can’t say I would recommend the eBay titanium screw kit for the GT. Somehow it feels like the screws are just not quite full 4-40. The 8-32 seemed fine, possibly just wore out nylon parts though. And my allen didn’t like to fit into the socket consistently for the small cou...

Couple steps closer to a complete truck. Need to track down a good condition tank or even just a good condition lid, rear body mount, and I’ll fab up a front bumper from some scraps.

Two nitros in a row, well done Alex!!

These things look like a blast, even just sitting stationary they look cool. All I need now is another Expensive part of the hobby to distract me from my other expensive endeavors.

I figured I’m building something I normally wouldn’t build with this chassis, I might as well do something I wouldn’t normally do with The body. Just need to trim a little on the rear tower and pop some holes in it. That’s for tomorrow though.

Shaved the rear tower so the body could sit down just a hair in the rear. Had to lean the top of the front shocks in. But it fits well enough for a shelf queen. I know I’m not supposed to like the modern stuff. But I do like the low slung stealth look this body gives the truck. B349C04F-0A87-4B34-9B...

Looks like you have a mid run thick arm team truck with universals. Also some upgraded RCPS turnbuckles on there.

I just noticed his name on eBay. Try there too if it’s time sensitive.

I’m starting this build with a ton of misc parts I bought from DHood many years ago. Saw the Andy’s painted body on eBay and liked the scheme so I snatched it up. And also a big thanks to Todd at Vintage RC Parts for copying some damaged/extra hole parts in carbon for me. I need to look into an anod...

Picked up a new engine, couldn’t beat the price. And will fit the style of the build better when I start anodizing and coloring. It’s going to sting anodizing the McCoy pipe. But oh well. I’ve got another. Been keeping an eye out for a donor truck but they’ve been fetching more than I’d like to spen...
