Rc; Element Enduro SE Dodge Hardbody!

f/b or #mudderputter

Not a beautiful crawling spot but a fun little sandy escarpment.., perfect for a scale truck!

Another rig just about finished. Happy to get this 3D printed dodge cab from a friend. Wish it had the box.., but decided to build an overland/ bush/ offroad work truck.
The body work was not the cleanest., couldn’t find any body/door/ hood lines. Scratch my own in…, not the prettiest but will do.
Had a element se chassis lying around so used that. Took the servo off axle., but the left tire has some bad wobble/ give when moving. Servo arm possibly too long? Believe the plastic ball joints have a lot of play; and they’re new. Also all stock electronics…, weak servo and underpowered esc unfortunately. Have little 50-55mm esc shocks on rear; perfect fit for bolting straight to the chassis rails. Have the stock shocks on the front but with the springs from the ecx 50-55mm shocks (little stiffer).
The chassis makes for an easy scale build as the trans/ motor is low & mid-forward position.
5 bolt rc4wd steelies (I painted, cleared, black-washed) and 1.55 rc4wd compass tires. Someone had poorly painted the sidewall letters white.., instead of flipping them I ran them; thought it added to the old work truck look.
Had the killerbody bed for the lc70.., was able to utilize that and match it up nicely to the dodge.
Need to matte clear the indicator lites… too shiney and add some mud flaps:)

Thanks Lance
