Playing around with wheels and body.
Proline 2011 F250 cab on Rc4wd oem dually and 1/14 semi tires. The bed will be a proline utility bed, or I am gonna make a flat or dump bed.

😁😁
My plow truck was almost "done" in this pic.
I got some supplies at the local craft store for this flatbed. It was my first attempt and I have much to learn but I'll go with it for now. I want to scratch build a sander at some point...

Love it. Love the idea of a large surface for weights also. If I ever move to snowland I'm building one. I actually woke up this morning planning a flatbed or box truck for a GMC Top Kick body I have.

As for scratch building, I'm buying axles, picked up an injora chassis I'm gonna chop and some sqaure 1/16 inch steel tubing. Can we say superduty f450? 😁😁
 
Got the servo endpoints set, grille painted, and the bull bar painted.

A quick showcase of the servo. For anyone looking for the best cheap servo upgrade for their SCX24, this is it. Ecopower 827.
 
I've got a couple of those but only one is finished. I cut the other one up, it's been shortened chopped, and sectioned. I'll build a drag van outta that one.
Here's my "bagged" coke van but sadly not an RC... Yet.

That's awesome!

Looks awesome!


I mostly finished my Mojave exb build. Need to figure out something for motor fans. Max6 1650kv combo. Amazon servo (been great on my outcast.).

Thanks. It's almost done. Few little details. I have a build thread in the crawler forum if you haven't checked it out already.
I've been watching it and seeing where it goes. I thought I had commented. Maybe I forgot to post reply again? 😁😂🤣

On a side note..... scx10 ii. I have c hubs and steering block on the front axle.

Top black is the steering blocks. C hubs are far right under the red pumpkin cover.

Would brass be stronger or aluminum?

Brass doesn't really bend. It breaks. But it is much tougher than aluminum. So it just depends on the structural design. But generally... brass will outlast aluminum parts.

Got the windows in today. Trying to hide the lack of an interior for right now, so I might even tint them a bit. But will likely redo them at some point. I left the driver's side window down to see Deadpool once I figure out the interior. I was going to use the Deadbolt interior, but I messed that all up. Don't ask. Basically, I hacked up a Deadbolt body for nothing lol.
