Once in a very blue moon there comes along an RC vehicle that I just have to have. This was one of them. Thanks to my new friend Merv up in Canada, I now own this absolutely stunning piece of work! Full bearings throughout. New crp coil overs, heavy duty steering rods, rear axle set and a ball diff. The front uprights/all 4 dampers/rear a-arms/ u-joints and pipe joints have been rhodium plated (like chrome but much nicer).The front tubes,a-arms and gear case have been gold plated. All the rubber detail items-switch cover,well nuts etc are all brand new. There is a brand new speed controller in the radio box. The truck also has an extremely rare set of aluminum 1 piece wheels.

Very nice chassis, super unique. You are right on those wheels, I made a couple sets then ditched the line. Good to see a set went to a nice home.

They are real nice quality wheels! Isn't it nice to see someting you made show up on like this? The wheels help make this truck!

Hey Vaughn, Cul-Tech will make anything if you pay him enough! I like that so much time and effort has been put into this truck, it really shows, but the gold plating is just a bit over the top for me, but who am to argue with a nice shiny chassis? Nice find!
