1985 3+3, 4x4 Scratchbuilt

[jeffro2]

Hello. I'm still alive, had open heart surgery last May,and installed some cleaner lines to my heart, 3 to be exact.

Anyway, I'm still building little RC trucks. My latest. A company out of California, called RC4WD makes a 70"s Blazer that makes a great platform to cut up.. I used 2 on this build. Its bigger then my other bodies, as you can see in the 1st picture. I also wanted an 80"s square, so I had to redo the whole front clip


























A video with the sound of power LOL

hey Jeffro, long time no hear!
OHS? wow, that's a big one. good to hear your doin' alright though

as usual, another stellar job! how about a mud test run?...lol. love the sound of that big block, cool vid.
i think this one is by far my fav of all your trucks....but then i may be biased...lol
oh, and what are the chances of a green paint job?
according to my truck you nailed it on the body, even the cowl hood

Thank you KShortell


Hi dieseldawg, its been awhile, and its great to hear from you again. I was hoping I might see you on here. Tell you what, I have more energy and stamina now than I did a year ago.( I'll be 61 in June) Im livin on Bonus time LOL ( I lost my dad when he was 59, so, I made it a little further, so far.

( Would you have any use for some 1/25th models ?)

Anyawy:

I actually want to do a mud run, just not sure it can pull its fat butt threw it,. lol
It weighs 15 pounds which is a lot for an RC truck. I may just give it green, just for you. It will be awhile though, I've got several builds going, actually for someone else, which is unusual for me.

I did one for a guy in Michigan last year to match his real mud truck








These are on the bench at the moment. So I keep busy at least

Jeffro2,

Sweet 6 pack crew cab truck!!!

I want to know where you got your body and parts to build that sweet 72 Chevy 4x4 that you built.

Did you use a regular 1/24 72 Chevy 4x4 body and adapt it to a RC chassis?

Thanks,

Doug
