Sad news this morning ,went out to the shed to do some work on my RC truck this morning and found out that some @#$# had fallen off the shelf above my modeling desk(Damm cats) and landed on my RC truck below
So I`ve had to spend most of the day putting it all back together ,with a little help from Mr blog,While I was waiting for the glue to dry , I managed to put together a roll cage and dash board...

That looks great and I really like the interior you made. But I think you put the steering wheel on the wrong side. LOL J/K. It really does look great, you should have some others build one and actually have a race. That would be a cool you tube vid.

Great build, i used to watch this truck race at Baypark race track in tauranga. Until they closed the track and built houses. Always a good day out going to the truck racing.
