WOW!!!! Paint is Killer!!!! wanna paint some of my cabs???? The whole truck looks awesome! I like the mix of parts and they all seem to work well with each other. Gotta be one of the best day cabs ive seen yet! Awesome job!! Cant wait to see it first hand!

[Bigrigger]

That is a sick truck, Izzy! It was worth the wait! Exceptional craftsmanship as usual, buddy! What's next?

Thanks everyone - spuds was a bit confused when I sent him 2 bottles of nail polish. Wife's of course . Loved the colors first time I seem them.

[woodhog]

Hey Chris, Was that the white day cab you built that had the big honkin brushless system in it?

[spudd]

Hey I forgot to send them back !!!!!
Hope the color was what you were lookin for

[Izzy]

Definitely - heck I was going to say something - but figured you must have liked the colors so much you decided to keep 'em????

Duuude!...Sweeeeet! Seriously a super clean rig with lots of detail, cant say anything that hasnt been said already. Thumbs up Izzy!

[Izzy]

Thanks guys!

Spuds - yes colors are spot on!

Woodhog - yep just the same - that cab was a liner for the day from Travis. It had other tis bits on it.

Big rigger - I'm workin on the deck playing and the rear fenders. Not into double humps and plain double overs look funny with the mud flap hangers?

- oh and I want to do a driveline upgrade

[BRICKNICK]

Hey izzy the daycab is badass.....I just really noticed your air cleaners, whose air cleaners are they? They look like pmd elbows but I'm not sure about the rest. They would be perfect for my kw build.

That beast sure is a very nice job , classic , Chris
Nice details , including that connector-plate for the trailer-connections
One thing ,
I would move that 5th wheel more forward , more realistic .

( plus gives you a more aggressive turning when you backing up your trailers
and better weight distribution and better steering under load , but you know that anyways … )
that just pops in my eyes always right away , since I never liked that on the Tamiya chassis

[Izzy]

Air cleaners are IHBuilder and the knows are pm'd

I like moving that plate forward - hadn't yet noticed...

[Izzy]

Got to spend a little cash last month (screw up at work and they paid out out yearly bonus when it wasn't supposed to be, I don't thinkit will ever haooen again ) and it finally arrived.

so I tore out the rear end.

- Oh and by the way. I was gettin tired of being hte slow guy in the fast lane at the Indy Shows so I turned down the output of hte 4:1 on the outrunner and fitted the helical cut pinion - thus I took out the Integy 3:1 Had to tilt the ttrans to get it to fit .... bit funny looking but it works (at leaset for now)....

so back to the rear end ..... some before pics.












Some pics witht he suspension out ......





and some pics of what was in the box ....






more to come .........

[Petedrivinman]

awesome looking daycab Izzy,you did a nice job,Wayne

[JAMMER]

Izzy I was wondering how you like those rear ends? I was thinking about getting them for quit a while for my Pete so I could lock the rears when it got hard going. I have a set of scale art but the look out of place with the tamiya scale. Ed

[Claus]

Nice upgrades!

[lukewmc]

Nice job! Let us know how that rigid rc suspension works out. I have had my eye on it but had doubts about the plastic springs? I had emailed with questions but got a very confusing answer!
