The X-rod

[surgeon]

This is close enough to being finished that I can show you what I've done. The only thing left is to mount the electronics, which will go on the headline of the cab.

It started off as a concept, how to make an open-wheeled rod. The only logical solution was a gen1 front end as it could be alleviated down to it's bone essential parts, with plenty of room for a 1/25 motor to fit in. I also wanted wheely pulling action, so I chose to use a truck rear end and a radline SR motor...



I used a 1/25 jimmy flintstone chopped channeled Ford body, because it was the meanest I could find.

Body mounted:




The motor was a donation from Cryogenicdeath that I much appreciated...and it was a beaut'.




Due to space I had to go hobby grade on the electronics and servo, the micro-t was sourced:







Since the photos I have fixed the front radiator and added windows all around, the final step is to mount the electronics and secure the body with velcroe, and final detailing.

Any comments/suggestions welcome.
