As soon as I saw this little thing I had to have one, so as soon as Stella got stock, I got my order in. I had a smooth ride through customs which was nice, so once the package was opened I started work. A full set of bearings and the upgraded shocks make this a little dream.
Its SO much fun to drive, wheelies and stoppies all day long. Top little truck.

Funky! I like it....and I can see one of these joining my own collection at the some point.

Cheers Wandy! Yeah it's a cracker. Body is SUPER tough to paint though, masking where required is harder than it looks.
I decided to make the front wheel arches black too which was my only deviation from box art. Seemed odd only having black rear arches.

I'm liking these. I wonder what it would take to create a mini monster truck - Wild Willy wheels and a pickup type shell.

even the standard fj body was a pig to mask off.
your looks great the black arches look good on it.

Looks wicked and it's nice to know it drives well too. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Thanks chaps!
The biggest surprise was how smooth and quiet it is, it's superb. I took my monster beetle out at the same time and that sounded like a bag of spanners in comparison lol.

Looks fantastic!! I really want one of these but cant really justify it at the moment Although looking at your great example is tempting me even more

Thanks again fellas. Had it out for a blast off road today, does just as well there as it does on grass and tarmac. Took some great shots but can't get them to upload via my iPhone or iPad, I'll have to try again on my work PC on Monday.

Ahaaa, if you're on an iPhone you can only upload one image at a time. More pics now up.

My lads camper looks trashed as it took one too many 20ft drops/tumbles at the local disused quarry. Built like a damn tank though, nothing has ever snapped!

This looks like it will be a lot of run to run and really enjoy. The blue looks good too.
