I have faith in you catching up. Just finished up the Axail Unamog 10 Orange body White interior and inner bed. My local hobby shop don't have any servos in yet. Good Luck
Thanks so much for the big shotout Matt! I appreciate it a lot! I have the same problem, over the last weeks too much work in my job, Hope it getting better soon....
Looks really sweet man.. Thumbs up cant wait to see final product and test.. As for lockn diffs and stuff i myself would go full all locked everything everwhere.. True 4x4 wagon fashion..
Oh sweet ride Sir....Think Id lock the centre diff and go super thick in front and rear just to give it a bit more "give" !! but that depends on how much traction the surface has, as you know all round full locked turns like a double decker bus on tarmac but on dirt its not too bad.
Dragbolt was cool, hang time,,,eehh not so much, but this mayhem I believe you just created a new scale market. I'm definitely doing a similar rig. Looks great.
Looks so sick bro!! Outstanding paint job! I have an airbrush I need shake the dust off and try that proline paint. Definitely cool and inspiring!! Hats off you you sir!!
LOCK THEM ALL! The rear just feels like it should have been tube with bedside panels but it does look good the way it is and your work stands out. You've got me wanting this body on my crawler.
Happy May Day! 😲😋 LATE.... That's looking GOOD Matt! 😎👍👍 Makes me love the Power Wagon Body even MORE. I have been friends with Matteo since 2012. Thanks for shouting out his fine Channel. Carmine 🚂🚙
Lock the front diff, rear shouldn't be an issue because most of the time if you're going forwards up a hill or accelerating the rear wheels are the ones with the traction and weight so it's the front that will unload and spin. Keeping the rear unlocked will help with steering. Might be worthwhile testing removing the front sway bar too or at least loosen the retainers so it acts like a softer bar. Great looking build, definitely looking forward to seeing the weathering go on.
Paint work looks awsome not to mention that the rig looks way better than that other guy's LOL.Maybe you could show Josh how to build a scale looking rig that function as good as they look.
My vote would be locked front and center. Mostly locked (thick fluid but not completely locked) rear. That way you don’t have a bound rear tire pulling the truck over backwards but still have mostly “locked” traction.
@@scalebuildersguild i guess a ghetto body mount I would make to have the body mounted down. But I'm sure you've already had something but your sleeve.
Whatever excuses from a Canadian are not needed everyone knows that we are the cold north we have a no worries be happy mentality......... most of the time until we get in our 1:1 cars that is. 👍🏽great job on the paint I might try salt for my Chevy build.
It looks awesome. You could get away with locking the front and center. Run thick oil in the back. Reason for this...if it's a concern....is the "push-straight" effect a locked rear has. Here's my reasoning(slow); I can go pretty darn far with my front diff locked and pretty much make most if not all the same climbs as having both front and rear locked , ok?..ok. (Fast)only locking the front on my Summit gives the fastest laps on my roundy-round with the whoopty-doo's in the one big jump. On the corners the front locked diff gives you more precise/control steering and pulls the rig through without unloading the inside tire or any "pushing". It's worked with every rig I've ever had not just the big ones.
OMG have you seen Josh's rig... it's not looking as good as i expected it to be, i had doubts but that really isnt my cup of tea. I really like how the powerwagon is looking now, wish the bed was not bowing out near the mid area, but overall... love it! maybe i will do something similar, but use a fiberglass hard body hehe
Power wagon is looking pretty good. I think locking center and rear for sure locking the front could get a little bindy. Like where you are going with this one
Haha I can totally relate to your situation, trying to get all this done before proline... My 3D printed 79 ford build, my son's 78 blazer ascender, and for further insanity I just added a barrage sumo build?!?! What are we thinking?! Oh yes and our "real jobs" :O
Hi Matt. I am going to be a Pro-Line by the fire this coming Friday and Saturday. My question is, when will you and Josh be comp-ing your new rigs? me and some of the guys from my crawling group would love to watch you guys hammer it out! Ray
@@scalebuildersguild Unfortunately, not. Just finished watching your recap video. Looks like you guys had fun. From the looks of it, you could have used the Voltaren cream I offered you. lol. No pun intended.
Yeah, that was always going to be a problem with taking this chassis and doing what we did. Josh's is more in proportion, but I'm still happy with the end result.
Put 500k - 1 million weight oil in the front or lock it, 500k - 1million in the center, and 50k - 200k in the back for the best overall performance. Definitely don't lock the rear.
You need to be able to lock and unlock on the fly,, Have the locks when you need them, not locked, When you don’t. Tough to do, but you sorta look like a smart guy. You can finger it out, I think?
Please type the name of that chrome paint pen you've mentioned a couple of times. Not sure if its your Canadian accent or my shitty ears or a combination of both... Tractor Truck is looking bad ass. The brazing work really looks great painted. Shows that not everything has to be bought off the shelf...
It was a pleasure to help with this build
My most sincere gratitude, you nailed it!
I have faith in you catching up. Just finished up the Axail Unamog 10 Orange body White interior and inner bed. My local hobby shop don't have any servos in yet. Good Luck

Thanks for the hat (and chocolate!), yours should be on the way soon, or almost there I hope!
Looks really sweet man.. Thumbs up cant wait to see final product and test.. As for lockn diffs and stuff i myself would go full all locked everything everwhere.. True 4x4 wagon fashion..

Great progress really digging this rig
Thanks a lot!

Wow I love it !! That is a bad A$$ looking power wagon !! Great job i'll be watching for more
Thanks very much!
Dragbolt was cool, hang time,,,eehh not so much, but this mayhem I believe you just created a new scale market. I'm definitely doing a similar rig. Looks great.
Gosh, I think it would be so cool to see PL release something like what we're building.
Awesome work as always. Can't believe how good it looks keep it up dude.
Thanks so much!
Looks so sick bro!! Outstanding paint job! I have an airbrush I need shake the dust off and try that proline paint. Definitely cool and inspiring!! Hats off you you sir!!
THanks Dean! Airbrushing is where it's at. Will I see you at BTF?
Scale Builder's Guild unfortunately I can’t make it. I have too much work lined up.....I’m hoping to make it out next year!
Holy Crap!!! Wow!!! I'm in LOVE with this!!! I have been chomping at the bit to see what you have done!
🤘🤘🤘😁😁😁
Thanks very much!
I love your attention to detail !!! Super niCe!!
Thanks very much!
LOCK THEM ALL! The rear just feels like it should have been tube with bedside panels but it does look good the way it is and your work stands out. You've got me wanting this body on my crawler.
I had to go for the simplest route, and tubing out the rear would add more weight where I don't want it. Forward weight bias is a measure for success.
Happy May Day! 😲😋 LATE....
That's looking GOOD Matt! 😎👍👍
Makes me love the Power Wagon Body even MORE.
I have been friends with Matteo since 2012. Thanks for shouting out his fine Channel.

Thanks Carmine!
Matteo’s videos are the reason I got into rc crawling! How crazy to see you sporting that hat.
He's an amazing person!

Cheers!

Oh man, I hope it functions half as good as Josh's!
Looking great matt! I would lock all three, gotta be able to get over the rocks!
Right on, thanks!
BADASS! I love the way this truck looks!
Thanks!
Superb super cool. I think the hulk would be jealous. Awesome. 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟✌
Haha, thanks!
Looks great!!! Why better than the other guys truck!!
Who even cares about the other guy, right?!
Never thought I would want one of these, but I am seriously thinking about one of these. Great job so far!
I think it's going to be a super fun truck Wes, you might want to check it out.
My vote would be locked front and center. Mostly locked (thick fluid but not completely locked) rear. That way you don’t have a bound rear tire pulling the truck over backwards but still have mostly “locked” traction.
Oooh, I like it!
Looking great man. I'm in the same boat trying to balance work, RC, and creating. Keep up the great work!
It's difficult, but worth it!
i'm very excited to see the comparison d:)
Me too!
Take a servo mount and place it on the front side of the shock and it should end up between the back of the headlight and power wagon emblem.
Sorry, what's this about?
@@scalebuildersguild i guess a ghetto body mount I would make to have the body mounted down. But I'm sure you've already had something but your sleeve.
Personal opinion would be to lock the front and rear but leave the center diff. open for balancing power , front to rear.
Hmmm...
its best to do what your most confident and confortable with to have a more positive results.
This is true, thank you!
truck looks really sick, that texture of green and the black is workin for me, cant wait for the finished product
Thanks very much!
Nice hat!
Ha, thanks!
Sweet paint! Power Wagons are awesome. Go full locked 4x4. Open diffs and crawling sounds like a recipe for losing. Good Luck.-"Angry" Dave
Thanks Dave!
Matteo's videos r great, so are yours!
Thank you!
Whatever excuses from a Canadian are not needed everyone knows that we are the cold north we have a no worries be happy mentality......... most of the time until we get in our 1:1 cars that is. 👍🏽great job on the paint I might try salt for my Chevy build.
Give it a try, it's a fun way to paint.
Love the videos, love the work. Sweet rig
(lock the rear and the center, with super heavy weight infront)
Thanks for the tips!
No need to apologise. Just no more pictures of jeeps🤪😂 looking really cool I like it. Lock the rear open front diff 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
I like my Jeep though!
Man, what a cool hat👍👍👍💪💪💪
Sure is! Nice guy too!
Love it Matt keep it up.
I will, thanks!

Great work man👍
Thanks so much!
Looks great like they all do. Seems like a lock rear would function best all around
Hmm, most are saying to leave the rear open-ish.
Looks good.
THanks!
Definitely lock the center diff for sure.
Cheers!
Scale Builder's Guild lol
Wow that is so cool!!!!🏁🏁🏁👻👍
Thanks!
Power wagon is looking pretty good. I think locking center and rear for sure locking the front could get a little bindy. Like where you are going with this one

Locked center, ultra thick diff oil in front an rear
Thanks!
What a great review~!!🤩👍😁
Thanks!

You'd better get to work!
@@scalebuildersguild I was thinking the same... How do you have time to reply here?! Get to work!! Wait, I dont have time to reply?!?!
What is it that you do for work? Is it really work? The Rig looks pretty Awesome..
I'm a film editor and work mostly in advertising.
Hi Matt. I am going to be a Pro-Line by the fire this coming Friday and Saturday. My question is, when will you and Josh be comp-ing your new rigs? me and some of the guys from my crawling group would love to watch you guys hammer it out! Ray
We did, did you get to see any of it?
@@scalebuildersguild Unfortunately, not. Just finished watching your recap video. Looks like you guys had fun. From the looks of it, you could have used the Voltaren cream I offered you. lol. No pun intended.
Sweet paintjob👍👍No expert on ultra4 but maybe lock center and rear? Front open for maybe beter and tighter cornering?
Sounds like a plan!
Lookin good! Lock the center at the very least 😉.
Right on!
How did you mount the body?
It's a hard mount in the rear, as the cage holds it in place. A couple well placed screws will hold it on up front.
Looks awesome, I am going to have to pick up a pl power wagon body. Keep up the hard work and make Harley resign
Thanks, definitely get one!
Paint looks freaking awesome man! I would go full lock on the diffs
Cheers!
Home run !
I’ve used a real rust paint , salted over that and activated it after scuffing and salt removal..... the rust creeps!
Sure does! I love real rust.
I waiting for weathering 😎👍.... PS Matteo nice guy actually, I need to ask him a cap 🧢 too 😂
Hope you like the weathering!
Scale Builder's Guild 😎
Looks, Killer!!
Thanks!
Lock the front and rear in such a way that you won't break it. I love this much more than Harley's. Just my preference
Not breaking will be key!
Very cool ,lock both diffs and heavy weight the center diff
Cheers!
I like your Matteo’s rc hat
Me too!
Yeah, door handles. So you got that going for you.
Seriously, it looks great but what is the bent frame look?
Trying to fool Josh into thinking it's broken... ;)
@@scalebuildersguild Do you think it will work? I think he is on to you.
AWESOME😀👍
Thanks!
in my opinion yours win in style. i just prefer the style. i am just trying to figure out how to mount my power wagon on my 10.2 with no body clips.
Nice job with the paint, id think you would want at least center diff locked but I'm not ultra4 expert
Totally, not sharing my final setup, but I'm pretty excited!
Nice video
Cheers!
I locked the front diff's on my yeti and broke three VP axles. Maybe use silly puddy.
Ha, good point!
@Matt: lock the center and put some 500.000 or 1mil. wt diff oil in the others... you'll like it!
Thanks for the tips!
Lock the front is all I would do
Haha, yeah, front will probably stay open-ish.
Dont apologize, we know your Canadian.
HAHAHA
Lock everything?!?!😈 really get that positive traction 🧗🏽♂️
Any traction will be positive.
lock the center diff and 1.5 m weight oil in the back 500k in the front.
Cheers!
@@scalebuildersguild Norm!
Stickers make it faster! MOPAR or no car!
I hope the stickers arrive in time!
Wich body is this. I, ll pur it in my Slash.
Pro-Line PowerWagon - it won't fit on a Slash without a lot of heavy modifying.
@@scalebuildersguild Thank you.
I'd lock all the gears, definitely looked close to the race tractor
Cheers!
Lock front back and center
Okay, thanks!
Looks great ...it looks scale but the tires look too large ...don't get me wrong it looks just great ....
Yeah, that was always going to be a problem with taking this chassis and doing what we did. Josh's is more in proportion, but I'm still happy with the end result.
Toight. Yesh, toight like tiger.
HAHAHA
Lock the center diff leave the front open and drive it a while...then decide if u want to lock the rear end...!?? Just my cents
Good call!
Put 500k - 1 million weight oil in the front or lock it, 500k - 1million in the center, and 50k - 200k in the back for the best overall performance. Definitely don't lock the rear.
Thanks for the tips!
I’d be interested to see how much salt you sprinkle on. I assume not much
No, not very much at all.
Leave it open with 500,000 in the center 10,000 in the front and rear
Just a little lock?
Lock the center and rear
Cheers!
You need to be able to lock and unlock on the fly,, Have the locks when you need them, not locked, When you don’t. Tough to do, but you sorta look like a smart guy. You can finger it out, I think?
Nah, way too complicated to set that up, and not necessary.
Please type the name of that chrome paint pen you've mentioned a couple of times. Not sure if its your Canadian accent or my shitty ears or a combination of both...
Tractor Truck is looking bad ass. The brazing work really looks great painted. Shows that not everything has to be bought off the shelf...
Molotow. Thanks for the kind words!
@@scalebuildersguild Thank you! I have some things I want to chrome and I've seen the results of that thing a couple of times now.
I bet Matteo has tats that say, ' I'm that Tamiya guy'
Lock the entire drivetrain .... center and a front aaaaand the rear
That's a lot of locks.
Harley... resign 😀😀😀
Add 2-speed transmission for speed, or whole traxxas summit drive line.
You can do it!
Nah, it'll be plenty fast already!
Lock the door...
HAHAHAHA
First, sweet 👍🏻
Congrats? ;)
2:10 Too much!! ;)
Hahaa
