My favorite, I had a 79 4x4 xlt !!
Love the two tone paint, killer job brother.
Cheers Mitch

Thanks brother. The body is actually from the Bigfoot truck but its the same platform as my Stampede and it fits like a glove.

I would love to restore a 73 F250 4x4 but I have no funds or the truck. Those where the best looking years to me

LOVE old Broncos --

Here ya go @Mitch Pearrow SJMP
my neighbors CURRENT project--

 

[Trident]

I can build the MOTOR...Might not be very friendly but will get alot of attention....

 

[Truss_rod]

Ok @Session 5 I took the plunge , I figured this was a good starting point and a great time to start with the staying home thing going on. I figured its the safe way im more ways than one. Also I wont fly it straight up and straight down just like the first time I tried the RC flying...

 

[eSGEe]

that way I would lose or crash so many attempts at RC flying.....................................
well I might throw the control through the screen.......................................

ya'll have fun with that

 

[Session 5]

Good for you Truss_rod, beautiful!!!! That's a good simulator !! Congrats!!! Make sure you start with a trainer plane. Ones with a high wing, they are more stable to fly over the low wing, due to wing loading. Good luck! If I can help you out in any way , let me know.

 

[Truss_rod]

Awesome S 5 , thanks man....
Definitely going to start at the bottom and work my way up. I love my RC trucks but I always wanted to fly...

 

[Session 5]

Your welcome! Here's a pic of mine which is about 4 years old now , but still a very good sim. Its made by the same company as yours Horizon Hobbies, I have seen many sims out there. But I believe they have the best one on the market for best realism and functions. Welcome to the wonderful world of R/C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the Brotherhood Truss_rod!!

 

[Truss_rod]

Awesome and thank you. Lets just hope the world gets fixed soon so we can go out and play....
