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
Pictures make it real :)

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
Started triming the body not finished yet,

two tone blue an silver! or beige/champagne... just like GQs mate.
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.
