RC Adventure Custom steel trail truck

This is the Trail Truck / Paddock Hack I'm currently building.

It's not based on any brand or model in particular, just a generic pick up truck / ute.

Like my mates steel Land Cruiser, it is using a Traxxas Slash 4x4 as a base. These ain't built to crawl, but go hard. The Slash is strong and can handle the weight with a bit of tweaking.

Made from 8mm stainless tube, 0.6mm mild sheet, bits of computer case, scafold tube, concrete reinforcing rod, nails and anything else I can scrape up.

1/4 Scale running V8 engine

For the last scale build I featured, I mentioned how it stepped things up from the one featured previous to that. We went from a completely plastic and resin model to one with milled aluminium and brass parts. Well here we are again, in the realm of small scale building, and at the risk of sounding repetitive I’m going to tell you that this one steps it up another notch from the last one. Well, “a” notch probably doesn’t sum it up quite adequately, when we’re talking about a complete RUNNING 1/4 scale V8 with fuel injection. Make sure you see the video at the bottom of the post. Simply amazing, and I can’t wait to see the builders next project, a scale V10.
