Update:

Ok i finally took pics to day enjoy.







I did get a hs 55 for a steering mod but that seems a little too difficult right now. SO i am going out today to get a titan(hint, for servo). Well i mounted the light bar and the truck bed and light work too. THe bed is sanded down where the putty is too. I haven't worked on the hood for a while too.

If the lights are on in the pic, It was moving/crawling at the time. THe incline of the very slippery foam bored was probably 50-70 degrees.
All comments welcome

Sorry pics are not uploading right. THat is why pics are big. I did resize them but they arn't resized on here?

Little update:
I went to radioshack and they were sold out of the titan. Someone bought it before us and it still says in stock online.O well, to the f150:

I made a new mudguard and will be buying stuff online soon. Leds, gmp and replacement front gear box or gpm one. Pics later

Update:
I got the mudguard and i am working on the truck bed. Dremmeled the be down a bit to make it look better. I am letting the putty dry now and will sand it down later. I was bored so i took a pic of my xmods. A f150 body is not in the picture as well as the truck bed and a couple hoods. I have now adobted my brothers nsx and have no pics of it. It is stock, yellow and has normal wear and tear on the bumpers.

Update:
I haven't done much but sanding. Well i tried to make a deep dish rim but it didn't turn out well. I just wound my own armerature! It was my first one. Well it works. It has 43 turns in a stock s1 can. It wasn't too fast but it does have some top end. THere is the start of my winding days.




I resized the pics but they don't show up resized on the forums. ANy idea why? All comments welcome.

Looks kool. Kickass! You get very low gear ratios with that motor and gearing setup.

Thanks guys,

as you see in the pics:
1.there seems to orange peel but there really is none, i think it appears like that because of the silver basecoat showing throug

2. there seems to be blue around the windows. that is really not there especially from the bottom 7 pics(the bigger pics.) that is after touch up and the camera brings out the blue.

Update:
no pics as of right now but i do have the tierod holder, front sus. skid plate, and almost the mud guard done. working out the kinks. it is all one piece of aluminium tooo.

thanks,
the one in the back is a crawler motor. The one in the front is for looks.


Little Update:
My original skid plate didn't work so I am making it it no 2 pieces. The first piece is a tierod holder and it works perfectly. The next piece will be a skid plate/mud guard.

Those springs really help. Definatly when you have the tamiya universal gearbox It would tip over like crazy. But with those articulation springs the typing is reduced by 40 percent!!!!lol.

update.
I have my tierod holder done. I made a skid plate till my brother messed it up. Now i am making a new one.

Look at the pics(last update with pics,)


3/20/08
Update:
I finally took some pics. Now all i have to do is mess with my 6 cell(you will find out later) cut a hole or two and drill 2 holes. Let the pics talk:




O by the way. I have a hummer coming tomorrow or sat., it is going to be a crawler with the hs-55 and other goodies. (next project) I NEED A OFF ROAD UPGRADE please. That means this project is almost done!! besides some gpm and videos!!!

i will have some videos by the end of this week. I will have a new thread with some test results like: tamiya universal gearbox vs. hs-55, 6 cell w/tamiya vs. 4cell w/tamiya. possible the hs-55 with 6 cell. and more.

all comments welcome!!!
