Makin' a truck!

[sargemonkey]

Yup I am making a car, a beat to hell supra, into a truck, all I will use is the electrics and some drive and suspension parts. I may also get a new supra body and make a very odd looking truggy but it will take a while, I need to make u-joints, with a hobby drill press, belt sander, many dremals, and some odd engineering skills, also need a frame.

i recently purchased a fast lane 4x4 monster truck. this truck is 1:24 scale and there is a lot of work in it. i've been thinking about putting my xmod radio gear in it. the truck has: 4-wheel independent suspension (4-link-ish), front and rear diff, replaceable shocks, tires, and motor/gear sets.
i think this truck is a good starting point for an xmods monster truck.

I finaly gave up, I can't get the stuff I need for this prodject. No hobby stores in my town, plexy's to brittle, and alluminum is to soft, or when thick too heavy for the amount I use.
