This makes me want to get into rc crawling..... But, I can hear my bank account saying noooooo. That thing looks amazing.

Got my steering dialed in and electronics all wired up...so I ran it a little on my rock pile.
It's going to need some tweaking, but that's cake now that she runs.
Next up is some trick paint and detailing her out.

Paint came out OK.....not to fond of Auto Air as a base after this though. Has a few "halos" in the paint....
Lights are installed, but still need to make headlight buckets and lenses, as well as detail the body a bit more.
Whipped up a quick dash, nothing fancy...just something for "Sarah" to hold on to. Hahaha!!!!
Other than that...she's about finished.

Painted the trim....
Yeah, I'm a Zeppelin fan...haha! Sure, ya won't see it because of the bed, but I dig adding little stuff and experimenting in inconspicuous areas, even if I'm the only one who know's it's there.

Headlights hooked up, winch detailed and more line added, rear window, and Sarah went to the plastic surgeon....
