Bigblockbirch Is Calling Out From Da 'burgh

[BigBlockBirch]

Well, I have always been a GM guy...several Silveradoes, Blazer, Tahoe, Corvettes...the list goes on...

 

But I found the one vehicle that has found a place in my heart...

 

My (wife's) 2005 Avalanche 2500 with an 8.1L (Yeap 496 cu in) of raw torque.

 

She is Silver Birch Metallic...hence the Username: BigBlockBirch

 

I am normally on the National Avy Forum or the local one.

 

We bought her new when, after buying a 10,000# Trailer, the Avy 1500 (13 mos old), wasn't going to cut it. Duramax was in my future until MzBBB proceeded to tell me that if it isn't an Avy...take the trailer back.

 

It has been fun ever since.

Welcome fellow Pittsburgher!!!!

 

What chassis is your RC Avy. on?

 

I have a Clodbuster and Super Blackfoot. And was considering getting the Hilux if I can find a Chevy body for it (I ain't runnin' no 'Yota body! )

[LawmanSS]

Welcome fellow 'Burgher!

 

Nice toys you have there...all of them!

[66nova]

[Zembonez]

I think the mini Avy needs an alignment.

[BigBlockBirch]

This is a custom built rig...Chassis is a one-off, Axles are full aluminum with metal gears, tranny is 2wd, 4wd and front line locks...for burnouts of course...

 

I am in the process of building another rig with a clod body...fabbing a dually...

 

I was the same way about the yota but man does it take a beating...

 

Here is the body I will be making a dually...

Hmm.......We're going to have to get together on these RC trucks!!! Damnit....

Something else to spend my money on!!! I thought I was done with these things!!!

 

Do you know if there is a Chevy body of any kind/brand that would fit on the Hilux? Or even the F350 Hilux version they have out ?

Could the Clod body fit it?
