Update: Got the jerry can holder mounted to the frame. Using the stock LMC body mounts to mount the jerry can holder, so it's removable. The clips that hold it in place also can be use as tow hooks.

Thanks man, probably not going to make videos, but I will be including a few short tut. in my build threads in the future.


Update: Received the Atomic BB2 in the mail today. Only installed it to make sure it works, haven't got a chance to really test it out yet, but I'm already loving this motor. It gave the truck a little more wheel speed.


The shaft is a little longer compare to the stock motor, so I had to drill a hole on the gear cover to clear the shaft.




Also got the little engine mounted in place.

That would be awesome!!! I will be at the track for a week, starting from the 26th.


Update: Applied decals and added some details.








Those decals were so old, some of the fall apart when I apply them.

Update: Detailed tail lights & WIP brush guard.

Got the tail light lense painted.


But I wasn't too happy with the result, so I tinted it a bit.


Here's a comparison pic of the before and after tinted lense.


Did a mock up on the truck.


Still missing something, so I out lined it with some black paint.



Now it's time for the brush guard. I ran out of styrene tube, so I had to use the part tree from the model kit.
