I like how with the trucks, you can get your cooling head OUT of the body.... Just make sure you have a good way to protect it!

this body is nowhere close to those f150 bodies on NTC3's
this is 1/8 scale hard shell body. its huge, .21 powered. i wouldnt compare it to a NTC3. totally different stuff.
the chasis is homade and basicaly fabricated after the body.

Pretty cool!
It looks like you used OFNA Hyper 7 wheels, but what tires are those?

wow truly a wonderful work of art if you can only put the engin in front and make BWD it would be great but i think youd have steering probs but for everything there is an answer nice piece of work

Default front engine

actually, the engine IS upfront. right under the hood. it wasnt installed when i took the pic.
its the only room i had to put the engine. so the suspension steering all had to be fabricated around the engine. click on the link and u can see the chasis
