Well I know I have been working on this for a long time.. It was finished awhile ago but have not had a chance to get it to Aaron.. Thankfully he is understanding.. However here it is, it is not exactly a full Copy of Digger 19 the newest Dennis Anderson truck but it is pretty close.. Some of the Truck is Top Secret according to Dennis, and I could not find pics of the Frame so I had to make it up as I went along..LOL However this is Based on a TXT set up, larger wheels and Tires will be added as soon as Aaron recieves it. The wheel base was stretched some, Lexan Panels upper and lower where added for realism. Battery Plates and EVX mounts added as well as a Graphite Reciever Mount. The Shocks are polished 5" long Trinity Monster truck Shocks, The Other Shocks we tried on the Truck did not want to work correctly and so I substituded 8 Custom Polished Shocks. The Body is the MGT Digger 1/8th scale body painted blackpearl with Purple pearl mixed in.. The Truck Has Headlights but did not get them installed will do that before I ship it to Aaron on Saturday.. What do you think? Tom         |
