It's not a body for a R/C. It's a bass pro shop body on Losi mini crawler sus..There was some Miller Lite involved with the building of it. :cool:

Doesn't look bad though.... My boy has one of those Nylint crawlers (the little ones) with a body of a 78/79 pickup.... looks pretty good actually....

xlt79brnc It looks great. I have a 70's F100 on an old 1/10 scale electric car.
Looks nice.

Nice job Marty. Any pics of how you attached the body? That would look really cool with a mini LED light bar,

I'll take some pics the next time I take the body off. It wasn't hard to do. It got painted to match my fullsize rock Bronco. Hope to get pics this weekend.

I been talking to the Bronco Driver mag guys about adding some links to the forum... Heres a copy of the email........
""Ed,
I will make you a deal: if you talk xlt79brnc into sending us info & photos about his RC bronco, I will add you to our links page! Seriously, next issue we are doing a RC feature and this is the first 79 I have seen.... too many early broncos, not enough Full Size.
And sure, I will add you guys. What section on your site would our link be in?
John""
So Ill get you his email and pm it to you. :cool:

John is a great guy....had the pleasure of spending some time talking with him down in baja at the 40th anniversary race. Love the rc crawler, that's also the first 78-9 I've seen.
That is sweet, you post that on FSB???
