Surf’s Up Traxxas Slash C-10 [Reader’s Ride]

Surf’s Up Traxxas Slash C-10 [Reader’s Ride]

This Chevy C-10 built by Robert Stallings has us yearning for beach weather again. This Slash 4×4-based truck is decked out with scale surfboards and fishing rods that he custom crafted himself, along with the surf rack and the front bumper. The boards are balsa wood sanded to a fine finish. The bumper, rack and fishing poles are made from Plastruct. The body is a JConcepts Scalpel Run Chevy C-10 which Robert painted with Plast-Dip spray paint. The running gear is pretty much as it came from the Traxxas factory—this truck is meant to be more cruiser than racer. The stock Slash setup is more than up to the task in terms of speed and toughness, and the beach-theme has it looking right at home in Robert’s Naples, FL hometown.
