Had a few comments on my Pete from Indy, so I thought I would show ya what I had to start with, and the road to get it to where it is now.
Like all my other wedico trucks I own, I bought it used, but this one was 100% rtr But came with a 4 chanel radio that I quickly changed out for a 6 chenal radio. Day one, out of the box, and allready getting "modified". Swaped out the front plastic wheels for some aluminum ones. ![]() Took off the Full fenders and the lift axle. ![]() ![]() About 2 months After I got it, I tore it all down to have the body powder coated to match the rest of my fleet. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Repainted the inerior to grey, and it looks much better.
![]() ![]() ![]() And that is pritty much the way it stayed for the next 2 years, untill boardom took over, along with a little bit of tinkeridus. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was at this piont I relized, I should have done something with the frame rails instead of leaving them in raw aluminum. So, I discided it was time to do it right. And tore it all back down again, and rebuild it from the ground up. ![]() |

The new electronics system that would replace the cheap wedico electrical system.
![]() And reduced the rest of the truck to rubble. ![]() Took the time this go around to send the chasis off to powder coat. Also had them do the 4:1 t-case while they where at it. ![]() ![]() And the rebuild complete. ![]() The new elictrical system that is in it now is PMD's new system, witch I like much better, as I can turn the lights on and off through the radio system. I also removed the wedico sound unite, and installed servonauts SMX sound unite. Over all I think this has turned out better than I thought it would. and now look forward to finishing off my volvo F12, and the Centry class witch I should be getting back from the painter soon. |

Welcome to forum Nate. Good looking Wedico for sure. Anytime I wonder what mine could look like, in a completed state, I stare at those who have a finished model.

I see you are running two motors, in the photo where you show your chassis parts powder coated I also see your running a PMD 4:1 reduction unit. Lots of power?

Again, further proof that evolution works!
I really appreciate the quality of Wedico and the metal cab etc, but the cost is too off putting for me.
