Just joking James, looks cool.

From a guy who knows bung hole... I guess I should take that as a compliment???

Sure you can drive it (the truck, not me), it is a blast!

Looks great - I really love scale as you can see from my scale heli'S. Something I miss with the 1;8 EMAXX etc.

Love your scale - you just need to add spades, toolbox etc to the back to make it like guy was going to crawl somewhere.

I did a scale Tamiya F350 with winch etc.. and also a scale Rock crawler using a Tamiya parts. If you are interested I will post some pictures but dont want to hijack your thread.

Hey Mohan, throw the pics up. I love scale stuff, and your helis are definately nice! You must putquite a bit of time into them, and I would love to see the detial on your scale trucks.

I do plan to do a few scale vehicles. This truck will most likely be the most capable, but have the least scale touches. My next truck will have more scale accesories, and most likely a full interior!

Here you go James - here are 2 of my trucks - once is a true Rock crawler built fromt he Tamiya F350 base and the other a true scale look alike (white truck) which has a working winch.

What do you think?

Looks good Mohan, I like the scale accessories on the white truck. How well does the 4 link on the blue truck work? Looks interesting, that is for sure!

The blue truck really runs well - I am no expert on rock Crawling but it articulates well for a rigid truck. I have still not got into the extreme disjointed articulation that will make a crab or spider cry.
