Talking Yellow Zonker Update "NOT FINISHED"

I got this killer truck off my good friend Rick 2 weeks ago and I just doing some minor changes to it but leaving the color the same as the paint on it is perfect and has a very cool effect in certain light. So it came with no tranny so I set it up with a R2 tranny and a 55 turn and a 20 tooth pinon I also switched to a set of Brian's steps and Steve's perfect air cleaners they are the most perfect scale air cleaner out there and a set of Jon's picket stacks on it and I built a custom drive shaft for it. Radio gear I went with Castle sidewinder ESC and a 2.4 with a 645 servo. Here is what i have for now I am waiting on the stacks they will be here this week and I have to finish the lights.









That is it for now more to come.

Thanks Woodhog and yes you are right when Rick built this truck that is what he modeled it after at one time he even had the green flames on it maybe he can post a pick for us when he sees this thread.

Hey thanks much Rod your right they make a nice little pair of hay rigs. I need to fig out a paint job for the KW that will work with the yellow trailers so the 2 trucks can share..

Yeah, nice looking little rig. All that hay in the background is no doubt going to end up on the trailers, no?

Well got sometime today between 2 builds i am working on for a very good friend of mine. I got my pipes in from Stylen and go a set cut down and mounted on the Zonker. Also polished the shiny stuff up and I drilled and mounted the cab lights as I am working on the lights next.
