Default Custom Tamiya Aeromax w low loader

hi guys

i'm new in here, mostly i walk around in 'the big grey scaler forum'

really like all the trucks in here, so i decided to post my really first finished truck as well, normaly i'm into scalers and nitros, but since a few months i'm infected into semi trucks an trailers.

actually, i'm at a project called 'the beast'. will post in here soon, was p****d of this build, then i decided to buy a good used truck to have the possibility to drive around....

well, didn't even take a pic of the truck when i bought it. it took about 2 hours until i started to modify... well, that's me....

here's a shot of the truck where it looked 'almost' original



then i added some body kit :-)



and started on making a low price low loader....



...with 'hydraulic ramps'








the truck got an interior





and a new front grill



here's the electronics

from left to right

light unit (developed by and distributed by me an my friends)
sound unit
ESC
8 channel receiver

then the first bunch of paint...



then i did my very first try in airbrushing, decided to do a true fire paint job in green



self made t-bar



the first of 3 coats of clear coat



self made stacks (from here it got difficult to take photographs because of the 3 coats of clear gave it a mirror shiny look :-))



'leathered' interior





detail of the ramps




the low loader painted and finished





hope you like the truck guys :-)
