Project:- ZXTruck
Nope it's not a spelling mistake
 I honestly did mean to type ZXTruck.... anyways I need to come up with some more imaginative but for now here is the story, I had a Nissan Titan with custom lift on a chassis with custom tires and the off road lift kit but no ESC, I recently did a trade with Spoon Tunner for a couple of Mini-Z boards and last night was bored enough to attempt to put on in the Titan! Amazingly it worked....  I know I was surprised to! So without further ado I present my ZXTruck:       The ZXTruck current runs: Mini-Z MR-02 ESC + Servo 4 x 100MAh AAA batteries Custom body lift RS Off Road Lift Custom tires with Deep Dish Rims GPM Springs Losi Pro-Controller Stage 1 motor with orange gear setup I plan to do more to the truck, i.e. tidy up the wiring but this is basically a pre-cursor to another car I am working on so I needed to learn a new skill and this was my test bed. Comments welcome on this some what stock but semi-pro truck

Be sure to add a video of it soon too! I always wanted to see how a truck handles with the mini-z board compared to the evo board. Nice work btw - experimanting never hurts especially when you get great results

Isn't the Z board so much smoother then the stock board, lol? Looks good. Time for some high torque motors

OK updates on the truck! It finally made it to paint!
I tried to be a bit fancy with the paint and attempted to use a textured / effect paint, however it didn't come out as planed and what I ended up with was a fairly stock looking paint job. Now personally I think the paint job is the best I've ever done unfortunately I have to admit though that my taping skills have gone down hill a bit! In part due to the new type of tape I was using! I'll need to do some touch ups with a bit of black paint but otherwise I am really happy with how this turned out! But anyway enough chit chat and on with the photos, oh and at this point I should point out that I can't take an indoor photo to save my life! I'll have to hope for sun rather than rain so I can get outside and take some decent snaps!
