View Full Version : It's ALIVE, big, bad, and green... "The Hulkster"

After a long break from “The Hulkster”, I finally decided to complete what I had started. First, I had to fabricate a front bumper/servo mount. It is made from 1/8” aluminum with ¼” dia. Aluminum rod. I finished it off with a couple of coats of “Grabber Green” paint for good looks.

For the rear I used an aluminum bumper that wasn’t being used, and after some paint it fits right in.

That just left me with wiring up the Super Rooster to the Speed Gem Sapphires, and setting up the steering servo. Here are some poser pics of the completed truck I took at work today.

Now I just need to see if I have the brass to run it on the rocks??? If not, I may have to part with it, because I can’t seem to enjoy a “Shelf Queen”… Only time will tell….

The main Zilla 4 frame is powder coated green. I painted the aluminum bumpers and the gearbox hardware green, and the gearboxes and rims "Boyd's Grape Pearl"

that ride is sweet. Although i think your tire tread is backwards.

That is the way I run my treads.. I have found that when rock crawling it seems to work better for me like that..
