Thats AMAZING! Do you keep a record of hours spent on it? It is a real piece of craftsmanship that anyone would be proud to own. Will this drive as an r.v.? Really nice work and much patience. More tedious than I could do. Thanks for the pics. You should be a surgeon.

I guess I do kinda keep a record of my time through my posts. Most often I have 2 hrs of work in every post. And yes it will be an RC with a working 3 speed tranny. Oh your right i should be a surgeon!!

What kit has the rockwells?

The axles are not from a kit their sold through a company I do a little work for. The company is an internet site that sells scale and competition rc kits as well as performance parts. Their called RC4WD and the axles are available for 200.00 per axle..

WOW that is awesome!!!

Nice project! Is the top removable and are you planning to make a canvas top for it?

 

[crawler07]

Thanks guys..
I has originaly going to make the top removable, but its been a pain in the but trying to make fastners I can get to inside the cab. And as for a sof top I have never been a fan of the way they look, A little to midlife crisis for me lol....
