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.

Busy week! Finished four more message boards, a few more traffic barrels, and also made some edits to both the barrels and boards.

The message boards got a software update from my prototype that in addition to the seven preset screens/ arrow functions now includes a custom three screen looping message instead of a single screen. Still an 8 letter 3 line screen each to keep it scale though.

The barrels got a nice upgrade of a battery mount to help clean up the wiring.

All four message boards are spoken for, however there are plenty of barrels ready to go.

Barrels are $12 lit (either flashing or steady burn), and $8 non lit. Shipping depends on location but is typically $8-10.

Wings and projects! Perfect Friday night activities.

Thanks to for the hook up! At this point every other wing place in Charlotte is in second place.

My neighbors are probably wondering what im doing in the shop at 1 am. “I’m setting up scale construction zones, don’t judge me!”

The 1/10 scale traffic barrels are ready to be hit by distracted RC motorists.

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.
