I blame this truck for my deadbolt costing as much as it did/has/will..





or is it the other way, do you blame mine for yours

Few updates to the build did some chassis mods cut the front of the chassis so the servo don't bind on the chassis rails and removed the esc tray and relocated the battery tray to the front mounted the battery and esc on the battery tray and decased the esc to clear the body.

And I thought I lost it with my trx4m build.

Is there any Deadbolt left in that Deadbolt? Nicely done, these little guys can get expensive fast but are so darned addicting!

It’s true the parts for these lil guys seem so cheap.. before you know it you’ve spent 4x the original cost of the truck!
I don’t regret this one tho!

I often wonder if I should even call mine a deadbolt anymore. I mean its on c10 links with a betty body and a furitek chassis. Only thing left is the axle housings and radio really

It will always have the soul of a Deadbolt no matter how many upgrades it gets.

It’s actually a FMS FCX24 Smasher and I rattled canned it black. But it’s loaded with Treal and Furitek goodness.

There is a few stock parts in there lol trans center mount body post and what's left of the frame...For now anyways...yes they do get expensive fast. You think no big deal parts are only $10 to $15 for most part some stuff $30 and up then you make the mistake of adding up everything and realize you spent 500 in parts lol but it gets addictive and it's almost more fun building them then it is running them.

Don't think my hobby cat will let me crawl on him with the SCX6, but he does keep trying to crawl under it.
