Got the body mounted and trimmed and started on the tubing.

It's disgusting how cool that thing looks, things like this make me feel completely inadequate as a man...if that thing gets any cooler I may become impotent. You must stop now! My testicles can't afford to shrink much more.

It's too bad the steering motor isn't centered, you could make a little scoop so that it looked like a blower.

Thanks. The planetary on the motor makes it stick up wicked high, the only way to keep the body at a sensible height was to clearance the hood. I'm debating sleeving it with some brass tubing for protection as it takes pretty hard hits during rollovers.

Sorry about your manhood but it's not done yet.

At first the body sat a little higher and I was playing around with the idea of a ram air scoop but it's probably too high for it now so I'll probably let it ride and protect it without disguising it.

Sort of making progress. New tires out of narrowed 1/20 Tamiya Desert Duelers.

They're a tad stickier but side hilling is worse due to higher cog. Gearbox separated so I need to fix that and do some more testing to see if I want to stick with them. If I do I'll need to trim the body some more as well.

Well at least they look good. Pretty cool truck, it really makes me want to find a few more donors on ebay.

Thanks, need materials to finish it up but I no worky still so it'll probably go to the back burner for a while.

What up pimps!

Finally got the suspension sorted out a bit.
Here's some testing, Bitpimps exclusive edit.

Threw some paint on it.

Just having some fun with it before I send it out. It's going to my brother for his birthday.

He was bored with the original one I gave him a few years back after driving Mini Franky.

This line took me most of the day to make clean. I wanted to really wring it out before I sent it. Everything is smooth as butter.

I hoarded a bunch when they were cheap.

Well that's a downer. My kids are and I got in to these micro RC's and I cannot find the ZZMT's anywhere.

It's the closest thing to those custom 4x4 table tops that are hand made in Germany.
