Lol! Cause that's The Stig's putty cousin.


Update: Picked up some jerry cans. Gotta need that extra gas, cause you don't want to run out of gas in the middle of the arctic.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Got the jerry can holder mounted to the frame. Using the stock LMC body mounts to mount the jerry can holder, so it's removable. The clips that hold it in place also can be use as tow hooks.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Got the jerry can holder painted. Adding some details on the running board and made up my mind on the paint choice.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: The hood is clear coated.

Update: Received the Atomic BB2 in the mail today. Only installed it to make sure it works, haven't got a chance to really test it out yet, but I'm already loving this motor. It gave the truck a little more wheel speed.


The shaft is a little longer compare to the stock motor, so I had to drill a hole on the gear cover to clear the shaft.




Also got the little engine mounted in place.

Getting rid of the mold lines.

Now for the paint.

now you just need a little pager motor or something that spins the fan blade that would be really cool

I've though about that, but there isn't enough room to mount the extra motor, plus the servo saver is in the fan's way.


Update: Applied decals and added some details.








Those decals were so old, some of the fall apart when I apply them.

[Blade.]

Those decals being torn.. Gives it a little more of a.... Used? look

It's excellent Jason! Keep up the good work man!
