Thought I would do something a little different than the box art, so this is my Black Water Ops truck. Black Water is the contractor who does alot of security over in Iraq, and I figured that if they had a High Lift, this is how it would look.
This truck was just a pleasure to build. Loved every second of it! Will run it once it gets nice out, but nothing stupid.
Those wheels are indeed RAD aluminum wheels, and are of stellar quality. Fully ball raced, this thing is just itching to go.
I ended up using airplane electrics for this one. Since it will not be used very often, I did not want to tie up one of my mainstream radio sets. The transmitter is one of the old style Futaba gold radios- the nice thing about is, is the ratcheted throttle channel, which will eliminate the need for a shift gate. Old Novak esc, and now I just have to find a stick style battery pack, as the battery holder accepts nothing else. Instead of sticking the antenna out through the top of the cab roof, I opted to wrapt the wire around a piece of lexan, so that it fit under the body. Little more realistic.
Would like to thank my Uncle Jerry for this tremendous early Christmas present.

Looking very good. I like the black grill and bumpers. Was thinking of painting mine black but didnt really think it was keeping to what they should be like. But after seeing yours it looks really good. Love the RAD wheels. Do those wheels add a bit more width to the tire?

Nice looking truck, needs a few bullet holes and maybe a machine gun in the back lol! Seriously though it looks really sharp what a great color for a truck!
