Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L

And now what I've got so far for my LEDs. Both of these bumpers came from Russ at True Scale. He makes some awesome stuff! All of the LEDs that are lit up are 1.8mm....

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L

I got this body through Shapeways. It was designed by Goose19. I gotta say, he did an amazing job on the CAD design!

Re: My first Semi build, KW W900L

My first Semi build, KW W900L

Hi everyone! I've built a few custom RC's in the past but never a semi. There is definitely some different tech involved in these verses just a 4wd crawler. And the price difference is way more on...
