BUILT TO THE BONES TRX4
CASEY RUGGIERI « BROOKSVILLE, FL
This rig started out as a Traxxas TRX4 Sport kit. Casey has continually changed it over the span of three years to the build that you see here. Casey points out that some of the parts on this truck were not meant for this chassis and that it really took some time for him to make everything work. The story behind the paint scheme is simple. Casey makes a living running the Tacoma Nation website, which naturally means he’s all in on Toyota. Ivan Stewart, being the absolute legend he is, made the perfect choice for the paint scheme. We’re loving it!
