Because the truck has to function properly,I've improved the rear shocks to handle the extra weight.

The old ones weren't shock absorbers at all, were pretty and scale but there was no o-rings on the shaft so they couldn't hold the oil.

So , found these 60mm shocks for cheap and took the springs out and filled with 1000 oil:





They only problem is that they are made for m2.5 hardware and couldn't find 4.8mm balls for m3 so did these ones:











Don't like them upside down but unfortunately,this was the only way to mount them...



Another detail that was buggin me was mounting this tow hitch






Got the hitch from eBay, some M2 scale bolts and printed the frame around it


Don't mind the rust. It's almost ready to be painted
