I guess you're ready for some living room wheeling. Looks really good.

I built it myself. Used the axles from this kit:

And pretty much ditched the rest.

Living room wheeling until it stops raining.....

Yep, it has a locked transmission and the equivalent of lincoln locked diffs.

I took it out to the lake where I ride my bike:

The camera battery ran out before I got to the big rocks.

I purchased the body. It is just molded plastic body. It comes clear and needs to have a lot cut off (wheel wells, etc.).

The company that made the axles that I used (Tamiya) makes a larger scale truck that runs "Rockwell-esque" axles. Here is a pic:

(that is a buddys truck).

Thanks for the compliments.
