my tundra project
hello guys im randy been here for about a year I race a lot of nitro but I like scalers and crawling just as much so.... I started a scaler project last winter and so it progressed a lot..so I will show you a bunch of pics and things I did to get her were she is now. She still has a ways to go before she were I want her too be. but it suits me for now so that being said here we go enjoy feel free to comment good or bad....k first of this is not a kit tundra just to make clear. the crawler this truck was built from was a 1/10 maxstone from exceed rc giving it was a exceed.. I had my doughts but for the price I didn't mind..so I bought one I don't have to many photos of it stock because I started modding it the same night I got the truck..i strated my making a new frame sterring more to the side of a real truck instead of a extreme crawler so I got a piece of a metal from a old chimney that held down shingles on a roof.... here is what she looked like before I started to work on her even thow I had modded the tread of the truck.....

Awesome bro..That's what's so great about this hobby is you can do whatever the hell you want and it don't matter to anyone but you. It's def a labor of love for me too. I will tweak my models for hours on end sometimes...
