Defender Customs

The airbrush did its work, the 2023 F250 worktruck is finished and on to its new owner.

This one started as a cen F450, got all new electronics with bulletproof combo of a steering servo, and a Fusion Pro motor/esc. It got a modified body with my XLT style grill, my custom 18” “steel” printed wheels wrapped in 1.7” Wildpeak tires, a Bitrc scale strobe lightbar, my custom ranchhand style bumpers front and rear, and finally some of my custom scale details in the bed.

And of course i couldn’t resist weathering and rusting a message board to pull behind it.

Nice truck you got there, be a real shame if someone took an air brush to it…

After building the 1/10th scale message board trailer, I figured i needed some traffic cones or barrels to go with it. One thing lead to another and i ended up adding lights and reflective tape to them.

I was able to get the single wall dimensions and printing on the first try with these, so without the light they will stack on top of each other like the real units.

They are scaled down to exactly 1/10th scale which unfortunately puts them on the smaller side to mainstream RC products, but they fit well with the trailer and i’m pleased nonetheless.
