My custom 1/6 prerunner (Don't worry, it's already a roller)

[Draco]

I have been building this thing for awhile and finally decided that it was time to post it up here.

What I did: I bought 2 t-maxx diffs, 6 t-maxx shocks, a savage 3 speed trans, and knuckles/carriers from a terra crusher. Those were the only parts that I didn't make on this, besides the hardware. Everything else has been completely designed and fabricated by me out of aluminum. This thing is absolutely massive.

Right now it has swamp kongs on it but i'm kinda thinkin they might be too big to be scale. Well, on to the pictures, let me know what you think.

By the way, The second car in the pictures is my Tamiya TA02 with 3 inch tires on it.

That thing is nice. But you really need to work on getting better pictures.

It's not so much my inability to take pictures as it is my camera is a real P.O.S. I'll see if I can do something about the photo quality. I wish they were better because the detail I have done on this thing is amazing.

Looks nice any beefy. Any ideas on the powerplant yet?

[TheJANG]

The People require better pictures, forthwith! The camera just has a slow shutter speed; you need to hold it more steady when taking shots of this very cool creation!

Ya just rest the camera on something and they should come out better. Super cool truck but doesnt look like much of a prerunner, looks like a big monster truck.

It only looks like a monster truck because I don't have the body or rollcage made yet. I'm going to make the cage out of 1/4" brakeline and I am going to make a complete one off fiberglass body.

As for the powerplant: I'm going to beef up a 30cc weedeater motor and put it on the bottle. es, It will have nitrous via a boost bottle/nitrous kit from a 50cc pocket bike boost kit.

as for the pics: Being a fabricator and using an impact gun everyday takes a bit of a toll on my ability to stand still. I will try to find something to rest the camera on to take better pics.

I'm thinkin about changing from those absolutely massive swamp kongs to something like Hotbodies devastator tires, they look to scale on it.

Sounds awesome! Cant wait to see it done.
