Very nice work, they look great

Thanks John!

Body back on shots..



I should have sprayed the rears with bed liner as well. I like the textured look.
I guess, not that it matters, dirt will cover them soon enough..
It's not going to be a shelf queen and they will only get cleaned by nature anyways!

Now the under side is done.. Time to get the exterior finished up..

Starting with:


Final pieces.. (For now)


Well, I didn't like how big the mirror's looked on the truck. So out came the scissors and the dremel to touch up around the edge's

Also shaped the mounts, to fit the body better, with leaving the mirror's tops in.

Mounted pics tomm. After I figure out the glue I'm going to use.. Amazing goop isn't sticking to the rubber.. :/
Rubberized tire glue, maybe....

Well, mounting the mirror mounts went Great today! I think I even like the size of the mirror's.. Could be a touch smaller yet.. Maybe another days project..

Some out and about pics from earlier..

Thanks Wes... I think it's done!

I'm pretty stoked to get it out on the trail now.. Let's go, melting snow!

Finally took this bad boy out for a trail run!
2yrs to build, 200yards of total run time, so far!


Now to find one in stock! Or someone with one to spare!

It was fun while it lasted and I liked the performance out of it.
Even with the wettish mud and leaves, over the frozen ground underneath, the Growler's worked and driving was very much realistic.

Next upgrade is here! Already had to trim a little fat, to make shock spring clearance..

A little update, for the Lil Troyota, that could..

Took the truck to it's first comp. It was a trail class style comp with 30 or so drivers. (Scale rigs but no scale points)
I wasn't even going to run it... The owner, of the island, said it would be his preference to run.. So I ran her!


I got questions and comments most of the day.
She flexes, she steer's, she crawls like a champ, and she looks dam good doing it! Lol..
The Pitbull Growler's hooked dry and wet, even dirty and covered in dry grass. There wasn't anything I pointed her at that didn't get progress..

At the end of the day, I was Stoked about the truck!
My scx might just sit! Unless I want something to abuse....

Overall.. 1st place! With second being 52 points behind.. Absolutely blew my mind, with a new truck, on it's first outing!

Score update... Look at that Troyota go!!!



There was a GoPro kicking around. I'll see if there was any video or atleast pics..
