"Got Bacon??"
Well I just got into this hobby by acquiring a Tamiya Cascadia Evolution on Tuesday 8-19-2014. After literally 3.5-4 hours of unboxing the kit and assembling the transmission, I have one of the shifted plates backwards, I was hooked.
At this point the truck is just the basic kit, I need to invest in servos, esc, mfu, and batteries. I have a older Futaba skysport 6 six, 6 channel narrowband crystal radio unit and Futaba 7 channel receiver. Anyways here we go. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f9adea6.jpg Ill upload more soon |

Re: "Got Bacon??"
Well lets try this again...
here are some basic chassis completion pics before and after a coat of Rust-oleum Kona Brown before http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...psa70f82cf.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps80e62ea2.jpg after http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...psdf6b8d23.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...psc3b9b4e1.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9d092163.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...psa8779d55.jpg you might ask your self why Kona Brown? well lets just say i laid down a really fine coat of Testors single coat lacquer Root-beer with no flaws but i wanted it protected so i laid some clear on it , when i came back it completely ruined the root-beer color, dulled it right down to a light brown... i also laid down a very nice coat of Testors One coat lacquer Inca Gold on the transmission cover. the transmission cover- http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...ps50ab4db4.jpg |
Re: "Got Bacon??"
next i laid a very nice coat of Krylon Fusion Red Pepper on the body

Re: "Got Bacon??"
after that red pepper dried i laid down some Testors Gloss Black on it to break up the red and make the truck slightly different than all the others out there.

Re: "Got Bacon??"
Well folks it's been a couple Months since I posted last, so here is a few updates. This truck has acquired a name for the build, "MAJOR HAULER", the company name will be "HOOK & HAUL INC." and will be dedicated to my retired police chief grandpa who passed away back in september with a title on the future headache rack being "ONE LAST RIDE". This is in the works to be a tri-drive heavy haul rig. At this point it is a completely custom one off build. So now for what you've all been waiting for, the updated pictures...

Re: "Got Bacon??"
Well I picked up some cheap 1/2" inside diameter copper tubing recently and cut and bent some stacks for the rig for now.http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...psf7o58dgc.jpg

Re: "Got Bacon??"
Well I have a small update, I wasn't sure where this build would incorporate the title "GOT BACON", I have determined that now and have proceeded with it.
