i made a couple of 1/35th stuff a few yrs ago,my fav was a unimog 4wd rockcrawler,i let it go on ebay about 2 yrs ago,i dont have any pics either,it was all self made including the front uj's,the shell was a revel unimog kit.good fun.

i know the guy(from various mini rc forums) whose link you point to,killer,we were both into making the 1/87 scale trial trucks too,i think he has some on his site as i do mine.

id="quote">id="quote"> Was it a red one? If so i tried bidding on that and i unfortunately missed the end of the auction. That was a very cool little ride!! The only reason I remember is it was the only one that i had seen (still have'nt seen) anything like it. I have been watching for unimog's on ebay and no luck!!

Well, inspired by that link (and a search for 1/32 crawlers on the net) I've decided to give it a go, ive just ordered one of these badboys off ebay (only 7.83 delivered from singapore [8D] )

hope that works!

going to make a brass chassis, with a transfer box in the chassis, going to independant axles, ill have a lot of time off after me exams [] so i'll have to see whats what when it gets here! I think i might have to invest in a tamiya gearbox, but i dont mind really, it isnt a pressing issue, and ive got quite a bit of time!

I'll keep you all posted,

Hope to see your update soon.

the unimog i made was a blue cab with red chassis and white bed/back cover on it...i wish i still had some pics of it ...too much work involved to make another one,the front uj's were a n ightmare to make out of 5mm steel.

Well, it arrived yesterday, and it looks like its going to be a fun project! I've already modded teh body (didnt want to dimantle the chassis yet) so now it has a soldered brass rollcage and a rear ladder and front bullbar. All handcrafted [8D]

Im hoping to have it in a 4x4x2 setup (4wd 2 steering) but a 4x4x4 might be on the cards, what with no differentials!

How did you make the front uJ's fastboy? they look like theyre goign to be the trickiest piece to make on this project, so I'd love any feedback about any aspect really!

James - i'll keep you posted!
