Custom RC Trucks - Tamiya Ford F350 4X4 High Lift Rock Crawler

UPDATE Nov. 12, 2011: For all of you who have asked me, this truck is a custom build and not available in any stores or on any web sites. Thank you very much for all the great comments. If you read through the comments you'll see I have given the names of the sites I have gotten some of the parts from and explain that I have made many of the parts from scratch.

I started this build with an already slightly modified Tamiya Ford F350 High Lift and now have a completely customized scaler. The only original Tamiya part left is the hard body.

do you know is the scx has metal or plastic frames?

@deanbright1 The SCX10 has a metal chassis. A great and very informative site I would encourage you check out is rccrawler d.o.t. com. I am a member of the forum and have found a ton of useful information in there. Another local club I am a member of is WARCRC d.o.t. org / forum. There is a lot of great info in there too, but it's got only a fraction of the members of what rccrawlers has simply because it's a small group of local guys. Whereas rcc is international.

yeah thanks. but that f350 is sexy haha where you get the high lifts at?

[snowmaninhell2000]

@deanbright1 Got it in a trade. However, the only original Tamiya part left on this truck is the body. Everything else is either custom made by me or an after market upgrade.

[snowmaninhell2000]

@snowmaninhell2000 Also the High Lift is a lot more expensive and not nearly as capable as the SCX10. But you can fit a F350 on a SCX10. You should look thru rpphobby dot com and store.rc4wd dot com. Tons of parts and goodies to drool over. I have bought from both and definitely recommend either of them.

thanks for advice im looking for more of a trail rig sorta thing i like the scx10 trail honcho i was looking into that one so i will see where it goes.

[snowmaninhell2000]

@deanbright1 No problem. You can do a ton of mods to the SCX10 and make it as totally unique as you want or run it stock and still have a very capable truck. And replacement parts are pretty inexpensive too. My F350 was my first scaler. So, you don't have to be an expert when it comes to building one of these. Good luck man!
