Yellow Zonker Update "NOT FINISHED"
 
I got this killer truck off my good friend Rick 2 weeks ago and I just doing some minor changes to it but leaving the color the same as the paint on it is perfect and has a very cool effect in certain light. So it came with no tranny so I set it up with a R2 tranny and a 55 turn and a 20 tooth pinon I also switched to a set of Brian's steps and Steve's perfect air cleaners they are the most perfect scale air cleaner out there and a set of Jon's picket stacks on it and I built a custom drive shaft for it. Radio gear I went with Castle sidewinder ESC and a 2.4 with a 645 servo. Here is what i have for now I am waiting on the stacks they will be here this week and I have to finish the lights.

Thanks Woodhog and yes you are right when Rick built this truck that is what he modeled it after at one time he even had the green flames on it maybe he can post a pick for us when he sees this thread.

Thanks Raiders Rick did a outstanding job on this truck for sure.. He hammered out the fenders out of Alum sheet so they are alum.

Yeah, nice looking little rig. All that hay in the background is no doubt going to end up on the trailers, no? :D

Well got sometime today between 2 builds i am working on for a very good friend of mine. I got my pipes in from Stylen and go a set cut down and mounted on the Zonker. Also polished the shiny stuff up and I drilled and mounted the cab lights as I am working on the lights next.

I am running the lights on the truck and trailers on 7.2 and they will turn on off my 3rd switch viva a battle switch very easy to work with and pretty small.

Thanks Much Rick I am glad you like it.. The dock lights are bedazzle jewels glued over a 7/32 drilled hole as they are 1/4 in the OD I will mount the flat faced LEDs to the back of the jewels with some CA..
