ACCEL 2014 Posted April 9, 2019 lower bottom right (below fire extinguisher) is two servo brass eyelets fastened through to a tough piece of "L" plastic, the LED leads are soldered to them + & - and a set on the body itself, so when cab is in down position the eyelets make contact and, well, it lights up........................... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACCEL 2014 Posted April 9, 2019 The FFG (Fat Fox Gulf) made this so much easier to fabricate, my painting skills with one or two colors is alright (some day i'll get an air brush, it's just something else to clean) stripes, trick graphics is the stickers (decals) job, own about every flippn' tool known to the RC world, chassis are easy, electrical is just a time warp............................This is Eleanor's head. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACCEL 2014 Posted May 16, 2019 72 Hours on Stand By............................. We have assumed control. There's a lil' Diddy i'd like to share while you're waiting i made up some time ago while window shopping for parts and pieces for this build. Goes like this..................................................................................................................................................... ps i just like little dots... The clear transparency of a body shell before its final color The shimering becon of lights on the road Ahead in the distance a runmble is felt and a faint roar is herd As it approches, close up the likes that have never been seen A truck on the prowl, it's the Iron Panther.👀 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACCEL 2014 Posted May 19, 2019 Well, Let's Roll Along...........................🚚................................. we know of the Xspede beadlocks, but there is a few others in here that look nice for her paw prints also. About⏰ 30 hours left on stand by. well the chassis is far from completed, and truthfully it's going to be fitted to another, for now it will be sporting on the VBC Racing Wildfire for the photos (it's the first TC chassis i built quite a bit ago) and now for some reason i'm on a TC kick, way too many neat looking body shells to be had, yeah....... that's it👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3729 Posted May 20, 2019 The bbs style wheels for me - the gun metal colour really suits the silver body. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin_Mc 411 Posted May 20, 2019 Nice!!!!! i also think the BBS style wheels suit it best 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carmine A 2046 Posted October 22, 2020 Wow E!!!! 😲😧👌✌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 That's SICK! Very, very impressive. OK.... Now I REALLY want to build one. I'm thinking (HOPING) that the Bittydesign Body is much cheaper than the Tamiya version!?!? Of COURSE I'm still broke as a joke - but my warped Mind feels like you've dropped a Challenge. 😉 Like I've mentioned, I'm OUT of raw materials.... But guess what? I DO have a dead Laptop. Certainly, like you, I can dig some ideas out of it. I'M NOT KIDDING!! My Mind is racing. I'm as far as thinking that the stock Plastic 1.7" Tamiya Semi Rims would be fine for me. I now believe, thanks to you, that I can fairly easily MAKE an Interior Plate for the Mustang!!! 😉 (IF I had Raw materials) I've got Helmets, Steering Wheels, spare Interior doo dads from Axial parts Trees.... DANGIT it's your fault! (And that's what I'm telling my Wife)😜 I need Styrene Sheet, .030" and .060", Black and Clear. Cloth or Vinyl.... Brass or Plastic Tubing, various sizes.... And I'm sure that my Brain (which now has SMOKE pouring out of it), will think of other things. GEE, I just need a Body, a set of Wheels and Tires, Sheet Stock and Tubes, and of course Paint. ....... and MAYBE at some point - a freaking CHASSIS!!! I suppose it would be important. I could PIECEMEAL a TT-02 or TT-01 Chassis. I've obviously done it before. I do have some TT-02 Steering and Suspension bits. AAARGH! Who am I kidding. I'll still be thinking about it though! Seriously, BOTH of your Racing Trucks look amazing, probably run WELL, and are incredible Fun. You really displayed a high level of creativity, as you've done on your other Builds!! My Friend, you've inspired me to push my creativity levels. I just wish I COULD. If I'm still up later, I'm actually going to find your other Build Threads!! I'm curious as to what else you've done. 😊 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted October 24, 2020 As usual attention to detail is awesome. I could be tempeted into a racing truck but then I can be tempted into almost antyhing (Losi Baja Rey Raptor to name but one, and I'm sure more to follow!!!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carmine A 2046 Posted October 26, 2020 I agree - and NEED a set of those BBS Wheels in my life!! 😊 They really make that Wild Truck POP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
