Stock full size RC replica

[sb4pro]

Ok guys I'm starting on my next RC project , gonna use this chassis

And this body

To hopefully make this

If you any of you all out there have any good detail pics ( especially the bed area ) it would be appreciated . Again I'm trying to get as close to the real thing as possible so more details the better . For those who are interested the chassis is the rc4wd Trailfinder 2 rtr , and the body is from the Tamiya F-350 High Lift .

That's a cool build, haven't seen a lot similar I saw one build the Camburg Toyota Tundra Stock Full. Came out nice.

Yeah thanks I'm thinking that , or LaPaz racing or Fabtech

Only thing I can't find is good pics of the bed area with the cages and stuff

Do not quote Me: I think That truck was built By Spirit Racing or Foutz. I know Jeremy & Greg did Co-drive the truck together.

Thanks I'm thinking the LaPaz one will be the easiest paint scheme to do since it's already got the white on the RC body . I'll just have to do the red .

Agreed- and it would be cool to see the RC replica APP wheels!

Every time I see your thread title, I think of a full size vehicle, a replica of Foutz's truck but r/c.

Lol yeah I kinda thought about that when I posted the title . It's a slow build but I think it's gonna come out pretty cool . My biggest thing now is how I'm gonna do the bed bars .

Here's another update . Body is mostly together , just have to get the mounting kit for it .
Here's a pic with the body just kind of sitting on the chassis .

Here's the mounting kit I gotta get

Did some more work on the truck , made the bed cage out of an old rear bumper , some spare parts and some shoe goo . The radiator is a radio box cover with a shock pillow ball and a screw for the radiator cap .

[sb4pro]

Added some more details to the fuel cell I made . Added the lettering on the cell .

Looking forward to this being finished almost as much as you are.

Next big purchase is the mounting kit for it . It's a Tamiya body on a RC4WD chassis so they had to make a special kit to make it fit . Here's what it looked like with the original body .
