Power Wagon

[Jacks9930]

I want to build my first scaler and I want a Power Wagon body for it. Any one know where I can't find this body?
If anyone want to create this body I'm willing to pay.

About 3/4 of the way down on this page, '46 power wagon body.

Man their ugly imo but yes, there are two different powerwagon bodies available, maybe more, a two door and a BUTT UGLY 4 door. I've not seen a 2 door build so this could be cool, I've seen a few 4 door builds, all ugly and not scale really at all but kinda original I guess.

About half way down is the 2 door.

^^Great minds and all that

I had the 2 door on my tmaxx several years ago. They are a large body.

Thanks that one should work

Will it fit on an Axel SCX10 chassis?

 

[slowngreen]

I'm not sure, might need a longer chassis. Could take a fair amount of custom work too. I think Rolex did one of the 4 doors on here with axial axials but didnt use an axial chassis.

Although I did a build of a silverado, same type body, 1/10 MT body, and did it on an scx10 chassis and it fit with alittle longer links so you might be ok.

The Axial B-17 will get you close to the same look. I've seen some crazy stuff with styrene on custom builds as well.

Yup, took a custom frame for this beauty to sit on Axial suspension.

Nice looking truck. I hope the 2 door will fit on Axial frame. I can make a frame if I have too.

I know you know how to build but did you ever fix the rear links? They are high clearance links which are upsidedown giving you low clearance links. Beauty none the less but didnt know if you did that on purpose for some reason???

 

[Rolex]

It doesn't have nearly the clearance that the stock chassis has, especially with the shorter shocks, so basically it just looked better.

I imagine its very pretty sitting on the shelf!!

It sure is, but it needs to be waxed.

Don't forget to wax the faux mud on the tire treads... :

Thats real Louisiana dirt on those tires!!!

 

[Rolex]

Was it you I bought them from?
It was easier than airbrushing on the dirt.

A can of clear Rustoleum to lock in the dirt and to keep it from infecting his other projects.
