This is pretty much my first scaler/crawler type R/C. Pretty average normal build and nothing crazy like some of you more talented folks out there.

I always forget to take pictures while I'm building.

Chassis pretty much built


A look at the Zero Ackerman Setup


A look at the electronics & motor have not started to clean up wiring yet.


Started paint on the body



Masked with masking tape only to find out later that the light kit included light masks!!! Grrrrr


Test fit.


Started applying decals.


Started wiring up lights


As it sits right now.



My first flex shot. Am I doing this right?


More to come. Sliders and brass weights are arriving today.

I have some ideas of what figures I want to use for the driver. Trying to decide if I should cut out a footwell so the figure will fit.

Also plan on getting scale accessories for the vehicle as well.
