Well you guys its time for my scaler. Started this build a while back. It started out as a custom body out of insulation foam, but i quickly lost motivation. With the new release of the 88 Ramcharger body I couldnt resist going back to this build.

Im basing this off my grandpas 77 dodge power wagon. This is also my future 1:1 so dont be suprised if I pull up to a comp in this thing when im 16 :lol:

The ramcharger body is 10 yrs older and will need some customization on grille, camper cut off, and adding a back windsheild, and a bed.

Heres what I have to workwith.

Wheely king axles
Wheely king transmission
Either the v3 chassis or a custom scale chassis
Most likely leaf springs
Fly wheel wheels that look just like the 1:1's
Fly wheel tsl boggers

I have no Idea on electronics yet, I was probably going to run my comp stuff In balloons and stuff for when I feel like going scale. Will have to be that way for a while, but not for long. I should have a real update as soon as I get a body and the tires.

Thanks Chris. Making the rust, fake mud, and the rust on the rc body is going to be fun lol. I can't wait to start. Im going to call hobby town today and see if they have a ramcharger in stock. :D
