My buddy was taking done bashers out to the gravel pit/township area where you can dump rocks, branches, etc...by my house.
I remember that there were some rock piles when we've gone before so I grab my rig along with my Redcat Volcano 16
I also drilled new body mounting holes
I did end up losing a wheel. Well it fell off, I did find it. Apparently I didn't do a good job attaching the hub to the wheel and all but one screw fell out. But up until that point I was very very happy with how this thing performed. Way better than I expected it to. Incoming photo dump

Blue loctite is your friend for those pesky wheel screws

I will be doing that when I get the hardware
And not just on the new screws, but on all of them
Doom!

So.
When I fixed the shock mounts, it meant the old body mounting holes were in the wrong spot
I put the new holes in, but then I was stuck with old holes.
I didn't care for that so I used some stickers I had to cover the holes
I'm satisfied with how it came out

So you might remember when I got the body, it didn't come with the decals.
I had to get creative
I just let the taillghts fill in when I painted it and it's always bugged me
I picked up this automotive tape and made my own taillights

If you want to dabble in a scale body for that truck this is the kind I like. The 79 Bronco generic hard body. It sells for as little as 70 USD online. Sometimes a bit less. Installing lights is pretty easy for it. A lot more budget friendly than most other bodies.
