I like that all your builds are Ford trucks. For this one, this would get my vote.

The rear cage is Vanquish, but I don't think it would be terribly difficult to get it to fit. I could be wrong. But I'd give it a shot, and if it didn't work, I'd just buy the Vanquish too because I love this body

That was one I was considering for this . I kinda wanted a half cab/cage truck. And I think that body will work well with what I want to do wheel/tire wise.

And about the vanquish…

Even if you just did the cab, I think it would look good.

You should just stop and give it to dB...

How is it you don't have a box full of pinion gears?

I got a few he can borrow!

This is solid r/c logic and MUST be applied!
In fact, if the body DOES fit, you'll love it SO MUCH, you'll buy another body AND a Vanquish so you can decide which you like more...
Just buy it already!
I have a room full of Kyosho stuff that proves my point and how r/c logic applies to real-life.

I’m gonna plead the 5th

I do it so much, its expected of me!

I think when I showed up with the last Associated haul, Mrs Certified said something about too many r/c's...
I believe if I buy enough of the same bodies painted the same way, I can move 'undetected'...
You're gonna want to just invest in a 12 pack of those bodies right now!!!

MORE r/c logic for you!

I got another problem though, a 10 yo that can’t keep quiet

Good time to remind him snitches get stitches

Snitches don't get r/c crawler 'hush pay offs' either!

@MVRCA do you know if that bitty body/vanquish cage will easily mount up to this element? Mainly just the rear cage

 

[MVRCA]

No, not off the top of my head. I haven't messed with those parts. I would guess it could be made to work.

Thanks!

 

[WickedFog]

Thanks!

Maybe the folks over at JConcepts could tell you how hard it would be to get it to fit.

Can’t do much more on this until I get some orders in, but getting the shocks built this morning

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Shocks are done, they actually feel better then the vanquish ones.

Might as well knock out the links while I’m at it

Element/Associated are known to have pretty decent shocks.

[Lostinthewoods86]

Went ahead and got the driveshafts done

Going to go ahead and get the rest of the plastic parts cut

You need to do one!

I feel kind of silly, I have a bad ass kit sitting here waiting to be built, and no where to build it. I have been cleaning up some of my hobby space so I have someplace to work, but after several hours you can herdly tell I've done anything.

Finally reached the point of not having anywhere to shuffle stuff too. I have too many projects and not enough time or space. Need to get off of here and go do some more "organizing" I can't believe how many things I have found that I don't remember ordering.
