So I started this build a long time ago. Used SCX chassis and axles 2.2's and some other stuff. Link to short post of it. http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=75213 So now to the redo... Going for something like this. ![]() Using.. RC4WD TF2 chassis RC4WD V8 motor and R4 transmission with GCM T-Case. RC4WD Yota axles Still going to try and have 4 link and coil spring front and 4 link with 1/4 elliptical and coil overs rear. It will be a slow build but here is the start. Cut up a perfectly good Cruiser body ![]() Im a little unsure about glueing styrene to this body. Anyone got any ideas on a good glue to use? Thanks!

Some more. Added some styrene to the top to make up the difference in the roof lines. Also filled gaps/holes on the sides and sanded the detail off the back. Then filled in the "tail gate". Did a little sanding to smooth some of the styrene, then put on some filler. ![]()

Sanded the filler then put on some high build primer, a little more sanding and... I had forgotten about the bottom of the back. It was missing. ![]() So I used some of the roof pieces to get the rounded sides and then used styrene to fill in the rest. Because I forgot about this part when I was attaching the back and did it after, I ended up with a large amount of styrene built up inside the bottom of the back. I think it will work out because of how I will mount the body... Time will tell. Then added filler and sanding...filling....sanding.....filling.... sanding and some primer.

Sitting on the chassis. Need to move the front axle forward a little and lower the body down some.

A little work fitting the V8 and etc in the chassis. ![]() I'm using the servo mount to hold the radiator behind the servo. Had to take the radiator apart to drill and tap the bottom of it to hold it to the servo mount, then drilled some matching holes in the servo mount. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I didn't like how RC4WD showed the distributor mounted way off to the side instead of close to center like it should be. So I drilled and tapped the top of the block for the distributor. ![]() Then added the thermostat cover and radiator hoses. ![]() .

![]() That radiator set up is cool!! h3ll the entire build is cool but as a few mentioned a little stretch would help alot. Maybe just pushing the front axle forward a little? I had to go back on my 5 ton build and make new chassis rails because the rear tires were about 1/2 inch to far forward and it drove me crazy every time i looked at it.

Thanks! Don't have any pictures but I have stretched it out a little at both ends. Way better. That's about all the progress I have made. I hope to have more soon. .
