okay, i'm really digging my half8 buggy at the moment, but i prefer the look of a truck.... its amazing what you can do with a dremel! :D

I had an old crappy toy R/C "custom truck" (comes with 2 bodys and sets of wheels), and decided to make it live up to it's name!

Lemme know what you think! :)

Nice job on mounting that body. Could you post a side picture so we can see how high up it sits off the chassis?

What scale was the body?

I like it cause it has this stealth thing going for it. Looks like one of those Newbright cheesy rc on a string things but I bet it goes great. Nice mount job. I love the piles of read plastic and dremel in the background.
Never fails to amaze what shows up in this forum.

Hehee.. nice sleeper. You could drive around the streets slowly then wait until someone with a Tyco or Nikko shows up and challenges you to a race :D ..

Do you have the box your H8 came with.. you may want to use the clear part for a windshield and windows. Looks good.

you just gave me a good idea! i need to make an inner body cover, to keep dust/crap out of the chassis. that box might be just the ticket!

Ok now I have to go buy a toy truck I need one for Mlst now :D
I want to do a police truck I have some blue and red flashing leds I am going to use on it, need a siren.

Going to run it at the races for laughs :cool:

I know that soundes nerdy but you got to mix it up now and again.

BTW the ST comes with a dust cover you can buy seperate.
