Hi John,
I bought the truck about 2 years ago.



Did some testdriving, and changed the suspension aswell as the motor.
Put in a GRU 4:1, and a BigBlock motor from LRP.
A switched the punisher shafts with full metal ones.
Changed the tyres aswell in something more agressif look.

Started with the cabine



Exaust and fake cooling systems aswell as back of the truck



Finished truck




Finally I decedid to rebuild the truck. This is the finished 8x8



Happy to help with info and pics, good luck with your build !
Mike

Wow you did a very nice job, can you please tell me where you got the exhaust set from I saw it somewhere on the internet but I don't remember where. Is that 8x8 frame from RC4WD , I also saw a Beast with a Iveco cab looked pretty cool , Thanks for the upgrade info I appreciate it. I'm still waiting on the kit. Can't wait to get it and start up grading it.





Thanks
John

Hi Mike

Wow thanks for the detailed picture, awesome job ,would you mind if I copied off of this for My 14X14 Beast. I'm in the process of building also ? That is what I've been looking for to finish off the back of the cab I'm working on.



Thanks
