Default Race Truck

This was inspired by Tamiya Cowboy's speedy race truck "Haulin ***". I had the running gear from a Globe Liner set aside that I was originally planning a Bus build BUT it had sat in a box for over a year and I couldnt see it progressing any further than the box. I would need a load for my trailer (when I get round to that build) so I figured a race truck was the ideal build and off we went.

Rails were bought along with other bits (I believed they were truck rails but turned out to be highlift). Shell was cut and lowered a little over rails and then painted Kawasaki Green (to match my King Hauler). Logos were made by my local Grafix shop who are always helping me get projects finished so seemed only fair that I put their logo on the truck along with the guy who painted and dipped my other truck.









Shell isnt sat quite right on the chassis in the photos, sat too far back and too high at the front.

Its staying with a silver can and locked in top gear. It was always meant for look of a race truck not a manic machine.
