My little fire truck

This started as a childs RC toy from Toys R Us. It almost perfectly matches up to a Team Associated RC18T chasssis. If I remember, next time I have a day off, or time to kill between shift rotations, I'll take some pictures of the way it's built, & add them.

Converting Red from the movie cars?

Yes, Red, & a few of his friends too.

As promised, here's a few of the build pictures.

I started with a Team Associated RC18 chassis. I made a few modifications to the body mounting posts. Also added a lenghty 4MM bolt to be the front body mount & glued a small piece of styrene to the body to work as front body mount.

I had to remove the water bladder & pump to make room to fit it. The rear body mounts are hidden underneath the ladder.
