Thanks dude! I might switch the battery holder to something else but i'll see how the body and everything turns out first before I do any other changes.

lol- I got another set of those rims with me but I still need to mod one to fit the xmods hubs.


No updates today - i'm just touching up the body abit and doing some light sanding to even out a few spot - I should start painting sometime tonight.

Thanks dude, But no you can't have it. (j/k)


Here's couple progress pic on the body work that i'm doing at the moment: (it's not mounted yet - just a mock up for now)






I still have a few more details to add and finish off so there's alot more to come.

Thanks for looking guys!

[Stampedekid]

Haha X, that's insane. Nice video by the way.

[noturday]

Dear Lord X, it looks awesome even without paint, cant wait to see it with some. im suprised you still had room under the hood for the mock engine compartment in there. that ride height looks perfect

[fieldfairy2]

THat is very cool. Are you going to mount the truck bed to the rear so it articulates all the way? If you arn't you might want to raise the body. Otherwise it is freaking awsome!

[adamcrawls]

hey X i dont think your doing it right your suppose to drop the bed not raise it hahaha

LOL - I got alot of room for a few more things but I need to finish a few other things before I try to add in all those details. The ride height is exactly what I want it to be - I might have to widen the wheel wells just abit though.

Thanks guys! The bed is attatched to the cab, because of the servo motor and the ride height I had to raise the bed a few cm in order to have space for the rear to articulate without being obstructed or hitting the bottom of the bed. I'm going for a more realistic look hence the ride hieght - it will be able to articulate more with a custom rear mount that i'll install.

More stuff to come soon.

[Hardcore racer]

very cool truck man.I cant wait to see more.

[Lowrideit]

I got the battery holder from Radio Shack.


Thanks for the comments guys!

I did a few more detail work on the body so here's the pics so far:







Some of the details are not glued in yet - I still have to paint them and then I'll glue them in. (JUST A MOCK UP)

Thanks for watching guys!

[supraboi97]

Ok thanks and its not even painted yet and i think its already my favorite truck that you have made its looking really good

[adamcrawls]

What color do you have in mind??

The interior look s good but looks a bit like its leaning back a bit are you going to black out the back windows to?

[Ducroix]

Very nice

[Dr. Kustom]

WOW!!! That's some crazy work right there, X, is it gonna be 4WD? Are you gonna make a custom driveshaf for it? Anyway, keep up the great work!

[2wdpancar]

Hey, that truck looks good...
For the custom driveshaft, I know of a place that sells CF rods...if you want it, PM me..

[XMODification]

Thanks for all the comments - I really appreciate them!

I was kinda busy this past weekend but I was able to get a few more detail work done and I have also put on the first paint coats (base color).

Here's a few pics of the project so far (nothing is glued in yet - it's just a mock up for now):






I painted the interior and the engine plus I added a few more details to them. The front grille now has custom clear headlamps so it should look more realistic than just a LED sticking out front.

More updates should be coming soon.
