I have a mockup for a fifth wheel hauler finally. Seems to sit ok and all the wheels make decent contact for now. I'll sort all that shock sorcery out after I attempt to drive it the first time. I'm on to bracing the chassis up next then I'll throw some more of my junkyard at it.
Tamiya 87? Chevy body
Arrma Fury chassis
Losi pusher rear clip
Interwebs shocks all around
Coming soon:
Used brushed 15T Titan can
An ancient HPI ESC
Sweet lightly used reefs servo
Some type of interior with animatronic driver
Fifth wheel trailer

Ohh... 😯 Gotta go. I smell flowers burning in the other room.
I should go check.

Woot! Finally showed up! Bout to start putting her together tonight I think. Holmes is a week out with her new heart and brain.
That thing is fugly!

I love it!
 
Time to finish up the SC28 team associated, my wife's personal living room basher. It has a 1/24 scale model car body out of the junkyard. I need to give it a slight lift in the rear to clear the tires. I made the flares out of sheet styrene so they're going to be brittle but a little battle damage never bothers me, I expect it. I will probably make a full interior for it at some point.

Designed a holder for Losi shock oils the other day that will lock onto the wire shelf above my bench. Threw it on the printer around 3pm Thursday.. finished at 6pm Friday. It's about 19" long, so a big print.

That's way cool, even cooler now that it's a Brat. :thumbs-up:

When you said you were making a rack for your shock oils, this was not what I expected. Freakin' awesome!
 
Got the body done on big ugly today. It should be another kit all together lol.

Also got the wheels put together. Swapped the aluminum inner rings out with some treal brass ones I had laying around. Got part of the chassis put together.

Rest of my parts for it were in the mailbox when I got home. Good day!

Had to give her the sexy rear end. Big uglys official name is Olivia.
