Rebuilding my RC Chevy Crewcab 4x4

[jeffro2]

I built this truck in 09, I think.

Its my typical Chevy build using 2 Tamiya Clod Buster bodies, a 3-speed trans, and RC4WD transfer case, and some really cheap aluminum rails for the chassis.

Just a quick peak back at the past on this truck..

This is the real truck that I used as a guide for my RC version. (no clue whose it is, except I know it used to be in Iowa, I think, and its diesel powered, supposedly)



The body before I started..



The 1st chassis... and clunky looking axles, but it was all that was available at the time.



and then all layed out with the stuff..





Here is the 3-speed exposed.





This was what it 1st looked like. (cab lights were too big)





OK, Fast forward to a couple weeks ago..

I stole the axles from this truck..



These, they look more realistic.



and I had a leftover chassis, that looked a little more realistic also. Its in the foreground, the old one is in the rear



I didn't reuse the 3 speed, (I hardly ever took it out of 1st gear anyway)when I put everything on the new frame. I just used a single speed transmission.









And now....









And if you made it this far, after all the pictures... I have a video of it.
