"Outta Control" 72 F250 Ranger Super Modified 4wd puller truck

[Dtimmerman89]

This is my current build project. I have a Moebius 1972 Ford F250 Ranger on a 3d printed puller tube chassis with a 3d printed 460 BBF blown methanol injection setup just like the real deal. I have added a lot of scratch built and 3d printed accessories to make this as accurate as I can get it.

I got some more work in today. I shot a few coats of pearl orange over top of white primer. I got the wheels shot in spaz stix chrome over a gloss black backer. I like the way that spaz stix looks more like a billet or near polished aluminum look vs the AK or Revell chrome that I would have used if I wanted a more realistic chrome effect. I am pretty happy with the results after a quick photo mock-up. Things are moving along nicely. I just need to gloss coat it and then I can start some actual assembly work.

Man that looks fantastic, that rig has too many pedals for me I'd have that thing upside down in a heartbeat! 🙃

Thank you. It's been a lot of fun so far. From left to right you have a clutch, reverser, left brake, right brake and throttle. Most, but not all have the throttle on a hand control. Under load these trucks use the brakes to steer and they are only located at the front

Thanks. I haven't even started the fuel and oil lines yet. I have a lot of work left to do, and it's going to be pure eye candy when complete.

There's a couple of ways to get your hands on one. You can purchase the STL on Cults3d or if you don't have the means of printing one, mcvproducts.net has them available with and without a chevy square body. There are some issues with many of the parts being out of scale and if you're like me, chopping and replacing is a must. The supplied Hemi engine is a bit thick and lacking details and the body panels of the square body ate super thick. These Super Modified 4wd trucks use a flip top fiberglass body and a kit supplied or vacuformed body are much more accurate in scale thickness. I went with a Moebius kit supplied body. My next one will be vacuformed.
