It's a sobering thought knowing there are people all over the world staying up late nights listening, thinking of new and creative ways of separating modeling
enthusiasts from their money. A year or so back everyone was lamenting the dearth of soft skins and now?

They got here yesterday and once the paint dries I'll put them on and get video.

I'm also now printing things like servo holders and trays for the trucks, so if anyone needs anything I can guarantee you'll like paying cost a whole lot better than paying the outrageous amounts some of these guys want for stuff.

They prefer to say "clone" but yes, it's a TBS, just at 20% of the price.

Greg, can that front axle be moved back any further? And the tank modelbau tires would be a perfect size for a jeep. I think I have an old plastic mutt around here in 1/16, I'll have to check. The frame from the new pick up might be better suited to a jeep, do ya think?

Thanks for the vid Gary. The winch idea is great, just gonna need to get more weight in the truck. You could still use the 1/10,1/14 stuff and do some illusion to the eye by hiding it in the grill or raising the body.

Nice! Need to add weight to get more grip. You've got the power just not the transfer to the ground. May be a thought to your conversion kit.
