      finally able to get started on this build, ive been wanting to do this for along time. I believe ive done enough research and download enough pictures to get start
      like all my builds it wil be r/c with a working arm . ive scale this out to be a 1/10 which is really big, somt times I think I take in to much fumes . lol
      ive measured this out to be around 790mm, tires are 126mm using 2.2 rims
      theres going to be a lot of 3 steps forward and many steps back . im going in 1/2 blind on this and don't know what walls I will be hitting. im assuming around 400 hours ,
      so this will be great winter coming build . well enjoy the movie and lets get started

      ive cut the frame rail, I some what know where the axles go, I need to make the lower hull 1st. ive started by intergrading the rails in the hull, starting from the front

    shes looking great there! I used to build tractor trailers and fire rigs when younger so this brings back fond memories of the last ones I did while in Navy Fire training.

    Looking good my friend! I really enjoy watching your builds, just a little different from all of the cars and they are functional when you are done. Neeater then a skeeter's peter!
