Keep the crusher corners, I dig them.

Most members here have never seen a custom roll cage built... , guess they don't.

Yay to both the tire rack and the crusher panels.

Good stuff, Custom. Keep it up!

The more bells and whistles the better. Add that winch. It looks great so far Custom, like I said on the other forum even the joints look pretty convincing as welds. That's attention to detail for ya.

More progress!

I de-bugged the drivetrain with some gen1 parts (as usual), and used a ball bearing in it too to keep things smooth. I guess this means I owe you guys a video. I'll try to get one tonight or tomorrow morning.

Steering thingy

Further roll cage progress:

Final color? (Olive Drab clear coated)

I may make it look like a rusty, old beater, or a high-tech, clean, crawling machine........ Im leaning toward clean.

Tomorrow I'm going to a rock-crawling meet for 1/10 scale. There will be many people there, so I'll be able to show off and take a few pics. :wink:
