I present my Bullhead in all its glory:

Photo nice it is. Rules broken they are. One r/c one photo titled this thread is. To dark side you have turned, banished you may be !

Refresh your memory you must. No limit did I set. Continue with quality posts we must. Follow rules, one r/c in photo we shall . In your collection it must be. Beat that Juggernaut 2 I will.

Though the thread is titled one r/c one photo I guess we can allow this as it's a photo of the same car technically .

Another of my top favourites in my collection (Orinigal Mountaineer):

That's a lot of planning - nice paint job !

Well, difficult to match the master but I'll see what I can do, mostly stock this will be. Colour thoughts folks ? Tamiya AS-15 Spray Laquer Tan http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/paints-finishes-60/tamiya-color-spray-as-61800/as-15-tan-(usaf)-86515 Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand (Leaning towards this) http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/paints-finishes-60/tamiya-color-spray-ts-61500/ts-46-light-sand-85046 Need a spray colour as I haven't an airbrush so the Desert Yellow is out as I think it's just in the small bottle and I am not brushing this paint on . Looking for a "Desert Look". Have begun assembly of the body/Bed but have to stop for some home renovations and to pick up some more plastruct Weld, primer paint etc.

USA residents only of course . But that means someone here can still win ! Scale r/c build contest - enter your Tamiya r/c to win a special orange edition Scania r/c kit: http://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=694#.U3E2n05zbmQ Good luck.

Yep. it's "all shaft" but once the drive axle is on to fit the wheel it's more standard (like a long txt ale then adding the drive hub). The wheels I think are "just about an inch" haven't had a proper check. Underneath: Size along beside Bruiser Re Release: At first, I thought that the chassis had a striking resemblance to the RC4WD Beast & Worminator but on close inspection not so much !

Build impressions: No English text in manual but the manual is step by step The assembly in the manual is for the entire manual but the kit includes assembled transmission, axles and partially assembled oil dampers. As such close attention must be paid to attaching the links to the axles Parts trees are well labelled, parts bas not so much - all Chinese but you can find what you need Parts in the margin are not to scale (washers, screws) Quality Impressions: kit has gone together well so far screws thread into the plastic no problem, no stripped hardware axles and transmission have been tested an run smoothly shock mounts are plastic and designed similar to the High Lift series which Tamiya made of steel shocks are a bit of a "cheap" concern, hard to describe really. I was out of oil so built them dry but get the impression they may be "leakers" builds like a Tamiya semi-kit Included driveshafts on the left are black, also included are red "hardened" ones which indicate some type of original problem so I just bought my own replacements from junfac: Axles came assembled but ran smooth, here's a shot inside the front: Axles all linked up for install on the chassis: Rolling chassis - standard 12mm hex - wheels are beadlock and came pre assembled: Next is the install of electronics and body construction which looks to be a long model build !

Electronics programmed (though still not sure it's right ! - I hate that MFC Unit programming). Already been to the LHS and picked up a smaller hump back receiver nimh pack to power the winch separately. Will replace the Tamiya included 3mm LEDS with 5mm LEDS as the kit included ones are all 5mm and the lenses are sized as such. Stellamodels is now selling the Cross-RC sound unit and speaker at a very reasonable price, if I hadn't aready purchased the MFC I would be snatching it up, looks good. So, here's the electronics all programmed and tested:

Nice, real nice. With the axle mounted servo and rear lock out - looks 1:1 - nice build ! I've just ordered some custom polycarbonate side plates for my txt-2 to lighten it up and replace those heavy steel plates to help "speed things up". When they arrive I'll have an update in my thread and I'll check with the TC Member supplying them if he's interested in supplying to other members .

Purchasing, yes.

** UPDATE ** Build begins 9 May 2014 - All parts in and Holidays start then ! This build and an update (secret) to my TXT-2 Agrios will be a last contribution to TC as I plan to take a leave of absence but I'll make this 6x6 count . Stay tuned, build starts soon ! Thanks for your interest and patience.

Thanks. You can stick with several RC4WD 1.9 size as I've linked to that will fill up the wheel wells for you just look at the measurements on the site for each tire, you'll find one no problem ! Then, post us some photos .
