Heres one i have been working on for a little while now...
its a Tamiya king hauler that i`m fitting to my Kyosho TF-5 drift chassis
have had to widen the front and have made the back from plastic card...


here`s what it looks like so far .... still got a little more sign writting to do



Heres what the real truck looks like in Action in the 1980`s

Sad news this morning ,went out to the shed to do some work on my RC truck this morning and found out that some @#$# had fallen off the shelf above my modeling desk(Damm cats) and landed on my RC truck below
So I`ve had to spend most of the day putting it all back together ,with a little help from Mr blog,While I was waiting for the glue to dry , I managed to put together a roll cage and dash board...






finally got back in the shed and got it finished...


Heres a small video of the full size truck in Action in the 1990`s

That looks great and I really like the interior you made. But I think you put the steering wheel on the wrong side. LOL J/K. It really does look great, you should have some others build one and actually have a race. That would be a cool you tube vid.

Great build, i used to watch this truck race at Baypark race track in tauranga. Until they closed the track and built houses. Always a good day out going to the truck racing.
