Your 'truck' is not much a truck, rather it has normal length arms and bones and truck tires and body mounts.

If I were you I'd use the short Andy's arms and one of the 6 gear transmissions to make your Scorcher. The rear drive hub for the truck looks like it might be a standard Tamiya 5 point, which would allow you to get the original Tamiya 5 spoke wheels, Smoothie fronts and Padlatrack rears. If not then you can get conversion drive hubs from teamcrp on ebay, along with front wheel bearing adapters, if you need them. Also, you can get aluminum outers for the Tamiya 5 spoke wheels from Tamiya Club.

I prefer the lexan body, but it takes a lot of work to get one to look 'Box Art'.

thanks for the info Bob but the "truck" is the parts car and it actually has a stealth in it as for the scorcher i was gonna go tuber but with some cool NIP andy's parts i got awhile back i'm gonna build something like you'res trailing arms and all, and box art is not for me anymore my first 6 clods were that way but now custom all the way
