Re: First Truck Build
 

I like those orange servos..... would look good in my orange truck :) Im sure your aware but your axles wont work very well in that order ;) HAHAHA Are you going to build it stock??

Re: First Truck Build
 

Well, it looks like you got all the parts together, except for a very important piece... Actually, make that two very important pieces connected by about 4 or 5 other important pieces. :D lol Those parts have a lot of potential, I will be watching this one! :D

Re: First Truck Build
 

me too...good for you shy girl:D

Re: First Truck Build
 

Nice start, girl. Now take your time, think about what configuration you want, and have FUN :):)

There's a lot of potential in that kit. So many different options... Oh, my :eek::eek::eek:

I just love a new kit to start a build :D:D:D

Re: First Truck Build

...moved the axles around for you too :D :D

Re: First Truck Build
 

HAHA thats better now it'll drive right ;)

Re: First Truck Build
 

Dang - custom ride right off the bat - and you hit the hard parts first. Good start. Lookin forward to it, don't forget to take the pics.

Re: First Truck Build
 

OK, I need to know where the orange servos come from. They would look real good in all my Orange trucks as well.

Re: First Truck Build
 

Those may be Multiplex servos - listed as discontinued on their website.

Re: First Truck Build
 

That's lookin' very nice, Shygirl. When the rails come in, you can get started and make some real progress :):):)

I bet you're keeping Mario at a distance by keeping a dog chained to the base of the work table :eek: or we just know he'd be playing with all the parts :D:D:D:D

Re: First Truck Build
 

Yep ,all those parts look familiar ,Will be a fun project ,keep the pics coming:D:D

Re: First Truck Build
 

Lol. Sorry dude. I'm Mario and my wife is mama sue. :D:D Correct me if I'm wrong but I think shy girl is Russ's wife. :).
Ohhh, and no dog required ... Lol . She says how she wants it to look and I get to make it happen!:D:D:cool:. She watches and helps prep parts too :):p:p

Very nice start. Can't wait to see this one come together..... Make sure Russ isn't playing with all the parts eh! :)
Hope your having fun guys! :):)

Re: First Truck Build
 

My mistake :eek::eek::eek: What WAS I Thinking :confused::confused:

Well, Russ is probably laughing himself silly :D:D:D just knowing I get easily confused with all our members here :o:o

No dog required, huh :confused::confused: I bet he'll be helping before long :D It's just natural :):):)

Re: First Truck Build
 

I think this is why my wife won't even think of participating - I would be hogging all her stuff as well as mine....LOL

Re: First Truck Build

What's that old saying? What's hers is mine, what's mine is mine? ....oops I got that all wrong, better quit while I'm behind :eek: she is on this forum after all :)

Thanks for the comments.....I'm very excited to get this build finished. I just got my frame rails so I should have the truck assembled sometime this weekend. That is all but the cab...that is going away to get painted as soon as everything is sanded again! As for my friends I'll try to get them involved but no promises!
