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

I love playing with my doll. Blowing her up is the hard part...
Seriously, I think this topic deserves a more in depth title. "Truck-Cycle" something just to get the attention it deserves. Very interesting.

Whoa, this is nuts!! That motor runs the wrong way to drive the bike forward though, you would have to rig up a jackshaft to go forward
