Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Well we are taking about doing truck pulling at the meets so here is my truck. Their will be no secrets with mine as I am going to show you a step by step build of my Globe Liner.

Firs step dump all of the parts out on the rotary table :D and for the new guys this is how you should do it.:rolleyes:

Next get rid of the instructions and that nasty pink off the shocks.:D The pink is very easily removed with ZEP-A-LUME aluminum cleaner 10 times faster than ez off and no where near the mess.;)

Ducde - that was fast! Just like a pullin truck - no interior, lights, windows or cushioned seat- all business. What rear tires did you choose?

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Here is the video of the test run. At the beginning the truck is in 3rd gear and wide open then I put it in 1st. The rest of it is just seeing that it all works OK. Izzy those are RC4WD Roadys, they were part of the last order.
