That came out really nice. He did a great job on the body too. El Toro Loco is one of my favorite bodies but there is no way I could paint that. I saw the rerproduction bodies on eBay but I know I couldn't paint it.

How heavy are those tires compared to stock Clod tires?

Thanks...yea I always like El Toro Loco too and Kris did an amazing job painting it, I couldnt come close lol....Those tires are really light compared to the Clod tire...they are Ofna Monster Blazer tires...I added RC4WD wideners too so ill see how that works

Really great looking truck. Tuber's are starting to grow on me for some odd reason. Guess its the realism

Ok guys I made a quick change cause i didnt like how wide it looked with those RC4WD wideners so i swapped them out for Clod tires on custom narrowed wheels i had sitting around and now im using TTR wideners and its not as wide.. I like the look a lil better, seems more scale.....I need you guys opinions on which setup looks better...

Heres a few pics...

if you could run no wideners it would be spot on being the EL Toro is a narrow looking truck

but out of the 2 i like the latter better :)

I also like the second picture set better.
Not a fan of the ofna tires at all. The make me think tyco every time I see them.

Clip and sand the outside edges of the clod tires and it would be spot on

I'd have to go with the Clod tires. Maybe do like Will said and round over the edges?

Truck looks good btw!!!

Thanks...yea im definitely gonna shave and round the corners like Will said.....

I want to do something with the wheels but not sure wat color to paint them...I could leave them silver and do a redish orange trim, paint them black w/redish orange trim or just go all black

Hey D..I understand man you know how my schedule is too lol...are you talking about the wideners? I had rc4wd wideners on it first and I switched to TTR wideners but I took them off to get a better scale look...both are good for racing tho...The first wheels I had on the truck were Tweaked wideners I believe...
