    Oh crap. The scale didn't translate in the pic. Very nice!

    Yeah, 3S in mine is pretty crazy.

    Heres a couple of pieces after first sanding, primer and sanding. The printer lines are starting to fill. 2 more coats should be smooth. Only about 20 more body panels to go. :der:

    Definitely! Mine was 2S and wasn't much fun in both speed and run time. Gotta max it out.

    It's an RC body kit but you can also purchase chassis kit. Sent you PM.

    Printer lines gone and bodywork done on all major parts. Still some sandings to do but will wait until its ready for paint to do final sanding and primer. Test fit and assembly should start next week. Had to test fit the front anyway.

    I wouldn't mind the 3" (which is what this one will be )but the 6 is too much for me but unfortunately No. This is a completely different build to just actually crawl around with. :D

    Guaranteed to have better panel gaps than any real life wide body Tacoma.

    We will see about that with this one. Now gotta start deciding on final color? Thinking in the lines of Matte army green of some kind? :notsure: Will make it easier to touch up. Assembly starts this weekend. :D

    It has begun. Basic assembly done. Now back to tedious part of filling gaps and body work. :playball:
    Just a comparison of the fenders side by side.

    My favorite winter build thread is back. Can’t wait to see it all take shape. It’s going to be sick. :thumbsup:

    I don't make these kits but I've seen one out there. Not sure who made it?

    Hmmmm... somehow working on the mini version would give me more stress than my full size. Fine motor skills are not my strong suit.
