Got my Dodge body (3rd gen) in and painted. Put my big tires back on and this is what my truck looks like now.

Thanks for giving me the idea to get my truck out and running again. I hadn't played around with it in more than 3 years until last weekend. The engine was locked up and it took some effort to get her going, but she's screaming like she used to, now.

Who has them? Maybe they're close to me and I can ship it to you.

Looks good on the front shot but seems a bit too far off outback. Whos Ram body did you use & what scale was it? (hope mine fits better) Any way of extending the front body mounts so you can move it forward on the chassis?

But here is mine and my girlfriends brothers. His truck is silver mine is the blue and white one painted like an SST







Bite your tongue son
Your rc is painted like an Indy, not an SST
That paint scheme almost caused a class action lawsuite back in 97 when Dodge started to advertize the SST with same paint scheme in the magazines.

Looks good btw

It's an HPI Racing body for a Savage. Same scale, but slightly longer chassis. If I went any further forward the front end would hit before the bumper. I have the back end up high so I can reach the starter plug without having to take the body off. The pic makes it look worse than it is, though. Damn cell phone camera.
