The body was a mold that I made myself from a Die-cast. I hope you like it?

Could you please give us more details on steering and rear axle?

The Front is a normal bit front end with normal steering. I did run a screw and bolt thru to hold on the front wheels. Becuse of the larger wheels it does not have as tight of turning as smaller bit wheels.

The back end is all custom built with a Super Slicks motor and gears from a slot car. The chassis is built from styrene square tube and flat styrene. The Wheels are the wheels off of the Die-Cast.

The body was made from building the mold then using epoxy casting.

here are some more pictures.







The motorcycle on the back was cut out of a Hot Wheels truck and painted to look more real.

Incredible! Great work!

I love the rims, they look really good on the truck. But why are they mounted clockwise and counter clockwise?

diets - would be a 'bit-fan', if he would not be 'drift king'

Thanks for the comments all!

you know Diets I never noticed the wheels were mounted wrong! I will have to switch them around. Thanks for catching that...
