well here's one I've been working on for a little bit.
k2-3l chassis
tlt axles w/ dinky rc "dinky links"
proline ford courier body
trail dr xl's
haven't done much to it lately.
the only really different from the pics are the
eritex "dirty dozen" beadlocks & msd hubs.
anyways let me know what you think.

:thumb: great build so far

only thing to change is the steering link from sevo arm to knuckle. Put a spacer or 2 to make it less of an angle.

I think maybe 5-10mm at the servo horn and another 5 at the knuckle should do it.

A steep angle makes for funny steering :(

thanks for the compliments.:thumb:

as for the steering, I checked that after I had
everything together and there is very little "bump steer".
but thanks for the input.

thanks wildtrial:thumb:

not sure on the color yet. at first I was leaning towards
a true blue pearl backed by a metallic blue. but now I'm
thinking maybe a baby blue, since that was a factory color
for the couriers. what do you think?

Very Cool truck, Love that body, I really hate pro-line sometimes they make a cool licensed body and then discontinue it...Power Wagon, CJ8, Landcruiser, Courier etc. then they come back later with some lame unlicensed version:D Oh well sorry to complain about them, this is going to be cool.

yeah I hear ya man. I got lucky and found two of the courier bodies
buried behind some others at the lhs, so I scooped 'em both up.
didn't really have any plans when I bought them, but I figured I'd come up
w/ something sooner or later.
