Well i started with my non patrol (so far) project. Built up some shocks and diffs yesterday, put some tyres on rims the day before. I spooled both diffs and went with beadlockers for the rims. Got some visitors coming this arvo so might not get much done today

Now for the pretty bit. What colour to paint it?
Its a sca-1e coyote. So old school ute.
I'm thinking a dark blue metallic,
Black is over done.

Would love to get a gq body but they are pricey

Looking good.

I built a few buggies years ago. First one was a 1/8 scale 4wd nitro fuel. Did it all by myself as a 15 year old. Great fun.

I did win a chassis for an axial stadium truck. That is meant to have an ifs setup considering making it one day but its not cheap.

since this drive I removed the foam in the rear tyres and will see if this improves it.
