I recently got this truck body in with a deal,and was going to make a mudder truck with an evo truck chassis.
But after this mockup,my mind was made up!
The body came without a grill or tailgate,so i decided to have a go at making them.I made a start on the grill,it still needs some tidying,before i build it up to form the grill and light surrounds.
It fits pretty well too.
i finished the surround on the grill. I will put the centre piece and the emblem on tomorrow.
added the centre part and the emblem to the grill.I will fill some small gaps tonight then sand and shape some more.
i have made the bumpers too,needs filling and more sanding but the basic shape is there.
The bumpers were a little too large for the truck,so i reduced them a bit.
still think the front needs to lose another mm.The more re-filling, re-shaping and re-sanding :duh:
The front bumper was about 1.5mm taller than the rear one,tho not any more
And that's pretty much where i am atm,i'm waiting for another truck front end to arrive to complete this.
It will be using a micro esc,and hobby servo's for steering too.
Small update,i have the wheels converted now I took the wheel centres on the monster wheels out to 6.5mm too,i can now fit the atomic socket in there.
And have two front ends with lift kits fitted,tho i need the bushings that fit the red gear,and two of the g box casings that are missing here.
It's also a good job i received another chassis with the front end,as it appears i'm too dumb to use a measure properly and cut the original chassis' too short .
All fixed now tho,and another mockup, just chassis this time.
