my build
so i have a few builds going rc500 shelved (still missing parts )Rumpelstiltskin truck finished needs painting , and a nitro ds waiting for the fuel tank.
so this will be a little different (my specialty ) it will start of a pile of parts ,mainly a rc10 GT and transform into something original i have been thinking about this for a while .
I will try to post pics as i go along and feel free to try and guess what it will be .
here are some pointers it will have the .15 engine the original black tub chassis and two transmissions
chassis is a bit rough and the whole i cut in it is relevant

Re: my build
ok wife's at work and Morgan called round ,Captain to you Lot lol
And i get time on the pc to post some pics .
i spent to long with the chassis idea a square peg round hole so that got shelved
The new frame is a hand full of rusty 6inch nails ,the mig is rarely out of each . The fuel tank is a soda compressed bottle wont hold much but its what i had handy . the tank is two parts to a flame thrower rc i had super glue and mesh tape very strong with just one layer i think 3 or 4 will be bullet proof
the black sharpie marks the v i will cut in the head to fake a v twin im also planning on a second fake header
there will be 1 cell in each thigh and three in the seat the steering servo is well this is a family site so i let you work it out LOL

I love playing with my doll. Blowing her up is the hard part...LTO_Dave wrote:I never pictured you as a guy who likes to play with dolls.
Seriously, I think this topic deserves a more in depth title. "Truck-Cycle" something just to get the attention it deserves. Very interesting.
