When I bought this truck I had a vision of how I wanted it . I pretty much built it in my head and ended up with exactly what it looked like in my head . I can't really change it up much for a couple of reasons . One of those reasons being my kids don't want it changed . Another reason is because believe it or not , The Macho Taco has become somewhat known the way it is and I would hate to change that . There have been a couple of RC crawlers built after it and that is a really big thing for me . Here's a couple of pics and links of the builds :

This was the first one I knew of , it was started by a guy who goes by "scalejeepbuilder" of Clarksburg , but it was never finished : http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/1-9-scale-rigs/128669-cc01-yota.html

Wow! Never seen a truck torn down and rebuilt this fast before. You could really teach the body shops around here a thing or two! :rockon:
 
:laughing: thanks a bunch guys , but I have a confession to make . The roll occurred in March of last year , and the rebuild took 11 months (9 months of that was at my friend's body shop) .

:laughing: No need to feel dirty konaborne . It's almost up to date now . Just about a month behind :thumbsup:
 
It's all good Infernal! You sure had us going there for a min. I was like I want some of your magic dust! Sprinkle a little over the truck and overnight it rebuilds itself! :laughing:
 
:laughing: If you happen to come across some of that dust , be sure to send some my way please :yes: . I have a lot more things to do to the truck :yes:
 
If I can ever come across it I will most certainly will share with my Taco brethren. :thumbup1: Until then it's the old fashion way, wrenching with a little elbow grease. When in doubt just get a bigger hammer :hammer:
