My stepson and his girlfriend gave me this for CHRISTmas. I am pretty STOKED!!!!!  So now my conundrum is which style to build it. Baja Boogey Boy, Radical Rock-crawling Rodger, Slick and Sassy Sixties Sideshow slick-wearing Scooter of the 1/4 mile, Slam-sandwich Street Scraper.... Hmmm..... |

Thought I'd tie it up so you have to decide. It's your build Tom. Your choice. :-)

So.... The decision has been made. I gotta get some more juices flowing for the paint scheme. I am going with... Drumroll.... Rock Crawling Rodger. A.K.A. Sgt Rock. Yes, THAT one. DC comics vibe.

Update.... Still working slowly on this one. Got the Rockwells pulled from another project and threw them at this. Working on the 3 link for the rear axle, then going to do either a 3 or 4-link for the front. Not sure. Also tinkering with the shock build so that this model will actually articulate.  Also, trying to figure out a way to scratch build some iRocks for tires.  So far, good progress, just slooooooooooow. Pics coming soon. Stay tuned campers. |

Soooo..... After fighting, struggling, fuming, and even saying a few words that are frowned upon in church,   I just got a new router installed. Now I finally came up into the grown-up internet and have speeds in the 100's of megabytes! (MAGA-bytes?!) Almost a full Gig! Whoa Nelly! Now I can almost drop a gear and disappear!  |
