Er, seems like the frame is more welcomed than the shell.

I’m glad about that as it’s a technic forum

it will be a little more attractive than the current version 

Your current body looks ok, it does, but it’s just a shell with no functions and compared to the chassis just not that interesting no matter what body you build on it.

your ‘mistake’ was to present the chassis only first

That's pretty awesome! Can't wait for instructions! Hope it can be converted for buwizz. I really like your rear axle design.

As it accepts a triple-A or lithium battery box, it basically is built for buwizz. The only question is whether the cables reach all the way to the back if you don't have an IR receiver in the middle, but that's just a question of adding an extension lead or three.

How would it look with the Corvette mudguards? Appreciate they don't exist in white, but just for sizing.

Wow great build. I really like how well you replicated the tube chassis and roll cage of the real truck. Looks great

Can't wait for instructions! Watching this thread like a hawk.. Wanna build this so bad!

Lovely design.  Love the replication of the roll cage?

[Mechbuilds]

Any progress on the instructions? How close are you to completion?

Sorry to keep you waiting...

Didn't get much time on this in the past weeks. Am working on the instructions and it's at about 50% progress now.

Also, did some outdoor driving testing and found that its torque is too weak for even small obstacles, will have to tune down the gear ratio ...

The instruction is finally finished and you can find it at:

Nice job!

But the front fenders dont seem to match the chassis...?

[Mechbuilds]

Gotta love that tube frame chassis. And the easily detachable body! Nice work!

Oh, that's because there is no 13L length fender in the current version of Studio app, so I used the bigger 15L in the instruction.

You can see the 13L fenders used in the real build photos and in the video.
