Re-build thread of an RC 75 Chevy Pickup
 

I haven't been able to find the "want to" too finish another scrathbuilt body I started on a year ago (67-72 bodystyle), so I have been redoing my other RC Chevy trucks.

I'm mostly building new chassis and adding more realistic axles to the trucks, and this will be the last, I think..

I stole the axles from this truck..so, it needs axles.

I bought these from my favorite online store

And this is where it starts

I picked up the u-bolts from ebay, they are for another type of truck, but they work. The other stuff is all made by hand.

This will be the new chassis after some work. I will have some left over for another truck I am going to rebuild..(Ford :D)

Sometimes a little more weight in the tires help it do its "thing" :)

I just evenly space them around the inner ring..and no worries on being unbalanced, it just doesn't go fast enough.. :)

I got the chassis made and the axles mounted up. The transmission and electric motor are just sort of laying there ..:)

In my eyes, this looks so much better.

Thank you Andy. :)

I finally sat down the other night and started putting all the electronics and the rest of the running gear on the frame.

Finished, for now..
 

I took it out yesterday morning, and it did really good, except for the tires, on an uphill climb on frozen, sandy, snowy soil.

And now, the video's.. I made 2, one going down the ravine, and one trying to make it back up. It needs different tires to make that climb.
