We love Readers&rsquo; Rides for the amazing variety of projects we get to see from our readers, and judging by the piles of email we get every month, you guys love it too! The only problem with it is that there is not enough space to show the best submissions in the detail they deserve. Sure, we show more on RCCarAction.com, and once a year we pick one stand-out ride to showcase as our Reader&rsquo;s Ride of the Year&mdash;but once a year just isn&rsquo;t enough! With that in mind, we decided to put together a feature highlighting one of the more impressive builds we&rsquo;ve recently received. Dan Boyle is a former RRotY winner, but his Blazer Monster is an all-new project. In fact, he finished it just a couple of weeks before this story went to press! We asked Dan to guide us through some of the highlights of his custom build.Dan Boyle spends his days&nbsp;in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii&mdash;yet somehow he still finds enough free time to build these amazing custom rigs. Dan&rsquo;s specialty is hyper-detailed chassis, suspension, and engine items using tons of custom handmade pieces&mdash;many machined in metal. His craftsmanship is on full display on the Blazer. On the following pages are Dan&rsquo;s favorite features.I used real wood from a cigar box to create a wooden bed and gave it a couple of coats of clear polyurethane. The high-lift jack is an RC4WD item, which actually works. I mounted two extra gas cans and a pair of firearms in case of emergencies out in the middle of nowhere!I used RC Channel axles as they are the most realistic. The axles have been treated to a solution that creates real rust for that &ldquo;used&rdquo; look.Final ThoughtsBuilds like Dan&rsquo;s serve as an inspiration. They inspire us here at RCCA by showing our readers&rsquo; craftsmanship and creativity, and we hope they inspire you guys out there to push your own projects to the next level. Dan started just like many of you: with a passion for RC, a desire to create something unique, and the dedication to hone his skills. What he accomplished with the Blazer is something special, but regular Readers&rsquo; Rides is where it started and how we first got to know Dan&rsquo;s work. He emailed us a few hi-res pics and a couple of paragraphs of info&mdash;just like many of you do every month. But there are tons more of you out there. All of you guys who are building and customizing your own rigs, remember to send them in to us at readersrides@airage.com. We&rsquo;d love to show your vehicle in Readers&rsquo; Rides. And who knows? Maybe we&rsquo;ll even do a feature story like this one on your next project!
