Hey guys
finally got my first king hauler. is going to be a fairly basic build. what im going for is a cross between an Aussie road train, and an American 18 wheeler (in my opinion :P)
the first big chance was trying to make snorkels for the air filters. so i used the original exhaust pipes as the tubes

and with a bit of plastic and several hours of gluing and filing away i came up with heads to top them

with a billet bull bar, a visor, bug guard, diffrent grille and bent exhausts im liking the look so far

still a long way to go, just waiting on a set of bearings and some servos, once i get those parts i can get the diffs and gearbox built and mounted and mount some wheels. then a lick of paint and it should be good to go for a first attempt :)
thanks for having a look
