my build

Post by treehugger »

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 8)
chassis is a bit rough :? and the whole i cut in it is relevant

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 :wink: . 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 :shock: i think 3 or 4 will be bullet proof

I love playing with my doll. Blowing her up is the hard part... :shock: :lol:

Seriously, I think this topic deserves a more in depth title. "Truck-Cycle" something just to get the attention it deserves. Very interesting. :D
