Ok, my son got one of those but it is a ZO6 'vette. I have thought about tearing his apart since he does not use it. But it is a little bigger. It is over 2 feet long and will take a bit of work to fab a chassis and running gear.

That's about how long mine is. I'll get some pics of it next to some other objects to better show it's size. The rear wheels are 4.25" in diameter, if that gives you any idea to it's size...

That is a good size RC car. They are a lot of fun. I just totaled my Traxxass Nitro Tech AWD gas car. It had a 2 speed trans and was good for about 70mph with a good tune. It hit the power pole at the end of the school parking lot and went into about a million tiny pieces. I am guessing it was doing over 50 when it hit. :D

I can only imagine how bad it must've sucked watching it hit the pole. Put up some pics on here, I'd love to check out your son's Z06 and some before shots of your car.

Jeff---I like the truck---it looks good as it sits with those wheels actually--it's got a teriffic stance---welcome officially with your dual projects!

Thanks, Doug!!

This deal just keeps getting sweeter for me!!
 
The guy I'm buying the truck from just made this deal even better. I'm already stealing this truck for $3000, which is cheaper than most clapped out CK style trucks I've been able to find in my area. He had already told me about the Belltech spindles and airbags in the front, but I assumed he used the stock control arms, so I had started looking at Strong Arms from ridetech to add to the mix. No need, he simply forgot to tell me that he already has them in place. The back half? It's an S&W piece. Then he informs me that he's got more parts if I want, for a cheap price. What parts? Let's try an SSBC rear disc conversion kit that's never been put on; new, in-the-box RHS heads; and a set of 17" TSW wheels that he had powdercoated black. All tossed in for another $700. Hmmm, I'm gonna have to think about it for a bit... LMAO!!!!

You bet I do!! I'm guessing that by selling what parts I won't be using on this project, I'll probably make half my initial investment back, so that'll help buy even more parts I want. And from what I can tell, nothing on this truck was a hack job, so I won't have to spend a ton of money and time fixing someone else's mistakes.

Man, that is sweeeeetttt. Congrads on that deal for sure. When deals like that come along, it's the one time I will actually go into debt for it, since I know it's too good of a deal to pass up. Unfortunately, I continue to have this happen over and over again---LOL. Great deal man--way to score!

Doug
