UPDATE 3/26

I'm getting lonely here, posting with myself...

So here is something to post about:

I finally got the tires mounted after a fruitless weekend, and they are looking great! They smelled a little fishy coming out of the packages...

They are considerably bigger than the Tamiya tires, but fit just fine!
Here is a size comparison:


And a look at tread patterns:




Here they are mounted up!


The standard Tamiya ones:


On-road/ off-road look:


Rear tires:


In this shot we can see how the tire size difference between front and rears affects the chassis angle:


So I fixed that little issue...


Pictures of the chassis:




The TLT axle is still here, and anxious to become a part of this truck!




Now, the moment we've all been waiting for! A mock-up! This is something to behold:














Yeah, I went a little crazy with the camera, but it was too hard not to!

I have next week off, so expect another update then! I hope this gives you guys something to post about!

Let me know what you think! Any feedback is appreciated!

Stay tuned...
