Bronco WIP

I have been making a lot of progress with my Bronco lately. Since I last posted I have upgraded motor, servo, and wheels/tires. After a few outings I have got the suspension pretty stable with the stock shocks. I Put small springs on the shaft inside of the shock to keep them from unloading on inclines and sending it over backwards. This also helped with the center of gravity a bit as it lowered the ride height. I weighted the front wheels with lead which also helps with inclines and side-hilling.

With the truck driving great I decided to start this project down the road to a "scale" truck. I found some great photos at ClassicBroncos.com and came up with a plan.
I am doing a factory half cab, detailed bed, and a full interior. I started with the bed and half cab. I am almost finished with the bed and the half cab turned out great.

Once I finish the bed I am going to start on the cab. I am looking forward to getting the seats in so I can start sculpting a driver. I have added a lot of pictures to the web album, check it out!
