This is pegging the coolness meter in the red!

So cool. Servos on the doors, and an articulated driver with FPV camera next, right? Right?

Printed some plates to fill the dead space in the headlight area. I quite like it.

Those bolts look perfect. What are they?

I wasn’t ready for just how sick this thing is….

Still have a punch out list to complete before a test drive…I don’t even want to drive it. It’s beautiful.

Once I finish her up, I’ll post more detailed pics and some glam shots after its maiden voyage.

I am STOKED. Literally surprised myself with how great this turned out.

HOLY MOLY! That is one killer looking rig.

I love what we can do with printers and home fab right now. My inner 12 year old is loading this up with gi joes and rampaging through mum’s garden already

So, what's the driveline consist of?

Axial 3-Gear trans with Hobbywing Fusion 1800
Amazon's finest generic aluminum straight axles and driveshafts

I used the axles recommended by the designer because I didn't feel like fighting geometry. They were cheap and also look pretty cool!

I'll post more detailed pics of everything once I button up a few things and can call it finished.
