| | | Re: My offroad RC Wow!
I just love those pictures! Amazing work done! I have a Nissan Hardbody (1980's) truck, with a car body on it now, and my wife drives a BigBear for her R/C vehicle. We have a blast running them around all the time!
Is there a place where you found the design for your toy(ota) and copied it, or is all scratch built? It looks scratch built, but I have to ask!
I attempted to check that webpage that you linked, but could not gain access to it, recieved a "permission denied"

The truck isnt scratch built it was a kit. and a deascent one goes four around $400.

| | Re: My offroad RC what kit was it? is kind of looks like the old tamiya bruiser, but not quite. it looks very realistic. are those leaf springs on the pic with a yellow cab? Tom Klippenstein

yes it is a Tamiya Mountaineer. came couple years after the bruiser, and yes they are leaf springs in 1st and 3rd pics, these fuzzy ones are with my 3/4 elliptical suspension on it, since added lift blocks to it too....
here are the newest of pics http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Album...2574&a=5554869
