Ok, thanks
I can either wait 3 days for the ebay auction or buy them in a model car:

(at a store of course) if these are the super swampers we have been talking about.

I am thinking of silver/chrome front bumper with flames on the hood with the rest of it black. I still might have to do a lot of body work, depends on if i get bigger tires.

Question : I am using 4 aftermarket sideskirts(not the off road look), what am i doing? (pics when i finish it)

if you mean the whole motor, he is using the Tamiya Universal Gearbox. It gives out hellacious amounts of torque. Its like $9 from Tamiya, Towerhobbies, or HobbyTown USA.

oh, you are making quad exaust tips on each side of the truck, similar to the ones on the side skirts, but on the off road ones.



good idea with the flames.

No you are still wrong. You are on the right track it does involve using the exaust tips.

Update: i am going out to try and find super swampers, but i have gotten to a good point with my second question...(a point in where it is mounted and i can take a pic or two.)

Nope still wrong. I will be using a light bar just not using exaust tips. Your first 2 guesses were closer. It is a pain to work with the exaust tips they are too small and don't want to stick, but i have gotten them to stick and it takes time to putty and sand them to the shape you want.

I know this is a double post but i have a good reason. I need this to pop up in the new post section and i have and update.

MAJOR UPDATE:

I have worked on this project off and on. Due to school i have had little time. But now i have had more time on my hands i have done more.

Upgrades: awd, lift kit, bearings, tamiya universal gearbox, custom front rear clip, neo mags, high performance carbon brushes, homemade locked diffs, wide axels(from race suspension upgrade), super swampers, reduce wheel wobble tut, functional light bar, and 360 degreee articulation Soon to have gpm parts and gears

I have cut the body in half(truck bed/roof-front bumper, for the truck bed to articulate with the rest of the rear. Like texan's s-10). I am working on a custom hood and custom side vents. Because i had widened the rear wheel wells i must fill them up again to make the look stock. My second question i had is my custom hood. I might: stack fets, neons, and steering mod.

Due to the camera not working. Pics will come later along with more details.(tonight or tomorrow morning)

Can't wait for pics. Now that I look at it, it looks similar to the Tamiya Clodbuster with the color and the blower.

Real good chassis! Now you should do the hs-55 steering mod.

I have been thinking of a steering mod i just don't know how to install it, as in wire it up and make it turn the wheels. I am gonna get my friends truck and do a custom crawler with a servo mod. Thanks for the comments. THe body is still in the works. Pics of it probably in the morning. Maybe tonight i still don't know.

Coming along nicely, just wouldn't recommend the gearbox.

It really doesn't fit well with the bodies.

But, your truck, your setup.
