http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/533.jpgsorry for the blurry picture but it was taken with a crappy phone and this is the only picture i have of this truck when i first got it.i bought it from a local gent who built it in his spare time and didn't want it anymore.it is a custom one of body using 2 tamiya blackfoot bodies and it is biult on a crawler scale chassis.it is lit up with l.e.d.s like a real dually ,the only thing is the rear fender rear clearance light needs to be changed to red.since this picture there has been some serious upgrades.iy is not real fast but it has torque;)

That is a great platform for a wrecker! And if it doesn't work out, it still looks awesome!

:Dyes it is 1/10 scale and thanks all for the kind words .i get a lot of attention when i take this truck out for a run.this is my dream pickup i would like to have in real life but can't afford it right now so the smaller scale does just fine...for now...

finally got my rc4wd plow in the mail today.i have been waiting eons for this to come back in stock.i checked the website one morning on the road and saw they were in stock ,by the time i got home that night they were out of stock again.so i got this from rpphobby,still waiting on a few parts to attach it to the truck and a some blue flashing snow removal l.e.d.s. and a high torque servo ,but i wanted to see how it would look if it was attached,once its attached i will post a video of it working seeing we are in for abit more snow over the next few weeks.http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/2014-02-18_00-09-27_92_zps15cef19e.jpg (http://s1085.photobucket.com/user/1985kenworth/media/2014-02-18_00-09-27_92_zps15cef19e.jpg.html)

not sure what you meant by that statement ,however fyi.this truck is a one of to my knowledge .i have not seen one that even remotely looks like this truck.there are a few guys on scale 4x4 forum that have built dually's using the f350 highlift platform.having said that,thats the beauty of facebook ,there are alot of D#$@%^heads on there i am finding out since joining that like to steal other peoples pictures and post them as their own .i have already had 3 incidents where someone has posted pics of my a few of my trucks(without my permission) and posted as their work until i caught wind of it and ordered them to remove or else!!!.i have no issue with people wanting to share my pics 2 things...1 ask permission first....2 say who the build belongs to and who built it ..just as the guys say on here ..give the credit where credit is due (the person that built the vehicle):mad:

this is what I mean. similar looking. It was on a tamiya dually chassis but he is an axial fan so chassis went bye bye.
