Where there's gas there's the chance of fire

When you have a roof rack you gotta have gear to go in it.

[rcmaster1029]

Wow, that looks extremely nice. If it weren't for the wide tires I would think it was real.

[sb4pro]

you should put 1 of the bratz dolls in the cab :)

[bugz2002]

nice truck.

[SnoopMaxx]

Thats ridikulusly awesome :p

LOOOOve all the scale accessories

Any plans for seats an steering wheel ?
:)

[master_of_desaster]

killer!!!!!! i like the whole chassis set-up. dual motors!

[ripper7777777]

Thanks, gotta love Orange.

No plans on an interior, the motors and maxx tranney ate up all the space, but this rig was about function more than form, so it needed power to carry it's fat butt down the trails, with the dual lathes it can damn near push you over.

[looker2756]

That looks very nice. The true to scale vehicles look awesome. I would like to build one, But I'm afraid once it was done. I would never drive it. They just look to good all brand new !!

[master_of_desaster]

aww come on...you'll see this really cool rockpile next to a lake and all hope for a new looking scale rig will be over!!

[looker2756]

Very true ! I have a very hard time not getting to put my vehicles through their paces. Watching them do what they are made for is why we build them in the first place. Maybe someday ....

[ripper7777777]

That's why I always make sure to not go to far with it, I try to make everything as durable as possible and I also keep maintenance easy, so that trail repairs are possible.

At one Scale GTG I got trapped on a steep down hill, my rear diff stripped so I had no reverse and ended up taking a 5' fall, the door busted off but she finished the day with the door strapped to the hood. Shiney paint is cool and all but Trail Scratches add character.

Great looking truck! I love all the little extra details.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the fire extinguiser? That is one of the nicest fe I have seen. Or did you make it?

[dbjaime3]

Where do you find the accessory to go with you nice ride?

[ripper7777777]

Where do you find the accessory to go with you nice ride?


Anywhere and everywhere, The coolers came from a barbie set, the Jr. Keg from Micheals, check the Doll house furniture, I also got the shovel there. The ROKBOX is a painted pill box and the other is a christmas ornament from walmart. I make the fire extingushers and gas cans out of balsa, but I think I'm going to try some of that new crayola clay, my wife used some on a Halloween deco and it was easy to shape and very light weight.

very ingienious
