Custom remote control, HO scale

I bought a cheap small remote control truck a few weeks ago thinking I'd just swap bodies and have a cool little mud truck. It wasn't that easy. The scale was a bit off, so the hot wheels body was too long. So I had to grind out some on the inner, cut the bed off the cab, shorten the bed, glue those back together, cut off some plastic from the donor r/c truck, etc, but it works, and looks very cool.



This is one I sat the roll bar on. You guys think it's an improvement or should I toss it? Just need to shorten it a bit and a couple dabs of superglue.


And it does work.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

That is very cool. Laughed a lot when I saw it. The shortened box makes it look almost like a Cartoons drawing. I love it!
