Hello Everyone.
There are so few bodies that fit the extended wheelbase "MT48", that I wanted to make sure everyone knows about the Pro-Line 13.9" wheelbase Silverado!
It's intended as a crawler body so it comes with all kinds of scale goodies, but I figured those would be wasted on a basher.
Please ignore the paint job. For some reason I thought the body came with window stickers as well as the masks and I just wanted to play with my new toy.
I did't really want a pickup truck body but this was so low drama, I might get a second one and put some real effort into it (maybe even lights).
The only weird part is where the rear body posts poke through right at the wheel wells making body clips tricky. I'd love some advice on how to deal with that a little better.
The rear posts are at the lowest height and the front posts are at the second to lowest. I don't have any rubbing issues using zero offset wheels and I like how it comes right down to the chassis.
Anyway. This is my first proper build and I really wasn't prepared for how hard it would be to find a body for this darn thing. I guess that's what happens when you mash up three standard vehicle types and expect it to work. All of the working parts are straight from an Arrma Talion, but as things start to burn out, I imagine I will swap them, for a Max8 system. I've only had it out for about an hour, running 4s and oh my god I can't imagine ever dropping 6s batteries in there.
