I just recently met my wifes uncle a few weeks ago. Great guy, he saw our trucks and loved them. On his way back home he stopped to see an old friend he hadnt seen in years, having a few beers in the garage he saw something on a shelf and asked his friend about it. His buddy said he could have it if he wanted it. From what he recalls it works just didnt know what happen to the controller. So good old uncle Lawrence, thinking of us.... picked it up:) He's in his sixties so i didnt bother asking any details about it but turns out his wife is computer savy and she sent these pics.....

Yes it is a knockoff of the Aeromax. For a free cab it is good for doing a custom body and you wont feel to bad if you hack it up.

That's just what I was thinking Travis. With all the upgrades I did and various parts purchased on the forum in the last year, I realized I'm very close to building my first spare parts truck:D
Now with this body, all I'm missing is rails, a couple servos and a tranny:):cool:

Just when you think your building your last truck...... A new opportunity presents itself. I love this hobby!!!
