It's almost done. All I have to do now is tear it down and paint all the fab stuff and the body.

[chrisw]

that is one sick rig what did it start out as

 

[JohnH]

The body is a walmart truck the rest is a tamiya highlift truck. had to pull the leaf springs added extra shocks for the time. did a full 4 link and added a winch for it from an old servo. brushless and will be going LiPo soon. got 3 speed manual tranny and those led lights on the roof light up an area about 50 feet ahead.

Ok mega that's the coolest Rig. Did you just buy the parts and build it. What a Monster! I am Impressed. What is the gearing like?

 

[JohnH]

some of the parts are scratch built like the 4 links. some are from the lhs.
the gearing in 1st is low for crawling the 3rd gear is ok but it is a heavy truck and i would say as fast as a stock mini-t not lst.

[chrisw]

those led,s are cool where u get them i think the savy needs some

 

[Just Justin]

Very cool!!!

 

[JohnH]

You can get the LEDs from radio shack the ones I'm running I got from a friend that makes them. All that is left is to paint the body. Thanks to Parkermarsh and the T-Maxx shocks the suspension is painted and done.
