Well guys it's been a while since I've done a build but I finally got a big monkey off my back here so it's time for a new build!
For this build I'm starting with a team Losi Aftershock mt roller. Unlike my other builds where I just rebuilt to mostly stock and cheap as possible yet good quality,this one is going to have a few $$ spent on it. It's also going to take a little longer since my hobby budget is always tight.
Here's a list of the main upgrades,we'll see what else comes along as the build progresses.
And of course every good monster truck has to have a name. This isn't going to be a Grave Digger,Bounty Hunter or any other commercialized name you'll recognize. This one is getting it own name. I've got the name and paint scheme concept and I've been working with NCNitro on it. With his help and tweaking,it's going to be a wicked looking truck. I'm going to hold off on disclosing the name until the body is done though!
To start,here's some pics of what I'm starting with. I bought this roller a few years ago started a different concept for a build then quit and it's sat on the shelf since. I've tried to sell it,but everyone wanted it for free. Now it's getting built! Enjoy the pics,I'll update as the work actually begins
