Yellow Zonker Update "NOT FINISHED"

[Tamiya Cowboy]

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 Raiders Rick did a outstanding job on this truck for sure.. He hammered out the fenders out of Alum sheet so they are alum.

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

I am running the lights on the truck and trailers on 7.2 and they will turn on off my 3rd switch viva a battle switch very easy to work with and pretty small.

Thanks Much Rick I am glad you like it.. The dock lights are bedazzle jewels glued over a 7/32 drilled hole as they are 1/4 in the OD I will mount the flat faced LEDs to the back of the jewels with some CA..
