I have only driven it that one time. I don't have a lot of friends that have RC to go mess with it. I still need to fix the reverse speed and pull the plow off to try it out more. I still need better tires too..

Truck is finally done and drive it for the first time. Need to make some tweaks but:

Oh Yeah, build is at a still still again, I need warm days to paint the interior. Decided to go with tan instead of black..

Yes, this was one he suggested which would be fine for the Toyota which splits the brake and turn. the blazer the turn/brake or combined. I think I will still end up with the DIY one as it sounds like it should do what I need I think in theory it would work, however i am guessing the issues will be the shocks and drive shafts

So I was wiring the LED kit I got : https://www.ebay.com/itm/324817321838?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 It would be fine for the Toyota but not my Blazer. I will need to find a different controller or build the DIY One I found. The DIY gives me options, but limited on Channels/ Outputs. here is what I would like in a controller: Lights: Reverse Lights (2 LEDs) Stop /Turn (2 LEDS) Front turn (4 LEDS) Headlights (2 LED) Fog lights/ Aux Lights I would like some different modes too.. Right now, the Headlights can be on always or on moving forward I can have brake lights OR Turn signals in back ( there is no Combo) No Options for parking lights I also burned up the Shifting Servo, not sure how yet but I did. So have another coming.. Getting closer. I have a crappy Plow mount but need to improve that, it will be my next task. here is a video of the plow functions, I wanted variable adjust side to side

Lol, not yet.. been very slowwww going

I assume the Mounty and Bruiser use the same dual pin rear tower for body mounting.. if so that stays. I needed a new Electronic box cover and a new front mount ( uses the stud towers on the front bumper) I printed both on my 3D printer, I think I used PETG for both..

So the light controller does not have tail/brake/turn in one led. That I can tell, sort of sucks, but I will look for another anyway.. body on chassis slowly getting assembled.

Clear coat being applied and bought a couple things: LED Light controller ( Based off an Ampro video) seems to have most opf what I want https://www.ebay.com/itm/324817321838?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11304.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=146aefb11ea64fbca319b36a8c822734&bu=43185669034&osub=-1~1&crd=20211107182647&segname=11304&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid Also a snow plow, has the functions I want, just need to get the mount figured out https://www.ebay.com/itm/373761717751?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11003.m43.l2649&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=4711bd7062d548a48bb8f3fdb48acc98&bu=43185669034&osub=-1~1&crd=20211108210059&segname=11003&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

Another picture with the hood and cap sitting on it. Again need to wet sand but will wait a few days to do that.

Paint i will add, I need to wet sand and buff it

Not really but that seems to have all the functions I want. Unless there is another solution that gives me the function of parking lights (no headlights) then parking with headlights and also no lights, like a real car. I could also program hazards too.. end of the day I like the the DIY stuff too

I m thinking of this for the LEDs https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1539753-Open-Source-Lights-Arduino-based-RC-Light-Controller

Nope never thought of that.. I will check it out

What is suggested to carpet. I would like to attempt to detail the interior instead of painting everything the interior color. Originally was thinking black but now wondering if tan/caramel color might be better
