Default New scale rig!

I got this as some what almost ready to run. Added a servo, radio gear and new brushes(and cut the com) and of it goes. It doesn't "crawl" as well as my clod based truck, but does great as a trail rig. Pretty tall CG makes it very realistic.....you need to pay attention to side hills and steep stuff, just like a real truck. Quick rundown on the parts:
-Integy 55T lathe
-Pro-Line Moabs on 'pede rims (soon to be narrowed/filled)
-locked pede trans
-locked TLT axles
-custom frame (square and round tube) w/ tow hooks and exhaust
-winch
-C10 body
-traxxas shocks
-forgot who made the servo/link mounts but they are bomb proof
-Hitec 645
There are still some things I need to finish (flat bed cover, winch), but I think it goes pretty well as is. Very fun!
I'm sure I'm forgeting some stuff as well. Here are some quick snaps to show what the suspension is capable of.
