This is an old truck I rescued from a buddy of mine, it was dirty, tires flatspotted from years of sitting around collecting dust, it is a 4wd chassis setup with alloy bottom plate and upper deck in alloy too...
I took it into my fleet and did a complete teardown and restore, cleaning as I went and thinking on what to actually do to it, it has a .16 SH engine that was actually pretty clean inside and just needed a good cleaning and reassembly...
I got an HPI 1/10 shell for it and some traxxas wheels with Losi tires on them for all corners...
Most times the little engine doesnt seem to run real reliably so a new one is in the works for it...
on to some of the pics I have ...
as it was when I got it home....
Body off shot of the truck
in first stages of teardown
Insides of one of the diffs
inside the back of the engine, and you can also see the broken engine mount I found while taking it apart
Clutch assembly
Front and rear gearbox assemblies ready for the chassis plate
Engine cleaned and reassembled along with the new engine mounts I used from my parts bin of stuff...
2 Speed center diff all rebuilt and cleaned and on the chassis
New Body and wheels and tires for the truck
Wheels and tires mocked up before getting glued down
New HPI F350 shell i picked up for it....
Masked and ready for some colors
After all the colors are on it.....
Right now it is getting some new tires and wheels for it... I got these online and they are quite a bit bigger than the other set I have, but I think they will be much better in the long run
So there ya have another of the trucks i have rescued and brought back to life...
