G'day folks.

Recently I've been doing a build on my 77 F150 for of road use, and while its been in pieces I've been looking to build or buy a dent side RC replica of my truck just for a bit of fun, but I don't really know where to start.

Any of you built a dent side RC crawler or 4wd truck or can point me in the right direction to do so?

Also, please feel free to share any pics you have!
Thanks in advance
Elliott.

 

There was a video posted to day about a guy that built 77 Ford R/C truck. I'll post the link below.

Radio Shack used to make a 4×4 RC truck back in the late 80's. The body was a 79' shortbed and was made of hard plastic. It was not quite dead on, but close enough that you could recognize it. With a mild bit of Dremmel and epoxy putty molding work, it could be perfect. I would scrap the electronics in favor of something more modern though. I found them on ebay last year after remembering that my friend and his brother had them as kids. They are molded in blue amd yellow and there is a later version that is black. Hope this helps.

 

Something like this? I picked it up for nothing recently in a box of broken RC trucks. Hopefully I can get it going lol.
