    I just wanted to thank Cow R/C for sponsoring the Ride of the Month and to everybody who voted for me , and those who have followed my tear down and re-build thread .
    I really enjoyed this build being it really challenged me to keep the fit an finish clean

    here is the full thread on the re-build.

    I bought this truck as a TXT in 2000 then grabbed the frame 6 months after, but life got to busy so it sat on the shelf for 7 years
    then i slowly started to put it together but never really was happy with it . This tear down i wanted to complete it it my mind , so i welded chromoly tubes to the back side and added rear body mounts , finished off with stripping the original green powder coat off to get a nice fresh powder coat
    specs on the truck are in the thread but here is a quick rundown
    New Era chassis modified
    Emaxx 3905 transmission
    Revo drive shafts
    TXT-1 Axles
    Clod wheels w/ Mike Hesse faux planatery hubs
    Shaved clod tires
    Traxxas VXL w/ esc

      Congrats on an awsome looking ride.
      Makes me want to start working on my dusty Boyer frame.
      All it takes is time and money. I now have the time. Just no money. LOL


      Congrats again for the win.
