Well I got a hold of a old Globliner that was getting no love. My son loves Fire Engines, and living in California I decided on a Brush Truck.

The Official build article is here:

Thanks to RC4WD, Vinyl7 and MyTrickRC for the extra's! :excited:

Awesome build and i'm glad to see somebody doing emergency equipment!

So it's a wildfire heavy pumper / tactical?

Looks great, but i'm suprised you didn't try for crewcab so you can get more guys on scene. Maybe make a strainer to mount on one of the hoses since there aren't many hydrants out there?
