They are touring car size. They come with nuts and bolts to simulate wheel nuts. It’s a shame they aren’t M chassis as they would look good on a beetle? Maybe ok with a low profile tyre?

Nice, I've got one too and it's by far the best quality shell I've had from L&L. Probably because I don't think they actually make it

Let us know how you get on fitting it to a TT02. The area in front of the front wheels is very shallow and the moulding is quite deep in places, so I struggled to get it to fit over anything with a urethane bumper. On an FF03 it wouldn't even fit over the plastic bumper without hacking it! I was a bit gutted, because it is a lovely shell and a great livery. Hopefully you'll have a better outcome 👍

Over the years I have probably built 20+ Clod Buster based trucks.  Restorations, modified drivers, shelf queens, comp crawlers, trail rigs, ProMod race trucks... many of these have come and gone thru my hands.  And yet oddly, I have never built up a NIB Clod.  I have kicked myself OH SO MANY TIMES for not picking up a Black Edition kit while they were out (and I still desperately hope to find one at a reasonable price), so I naturally had to jump at the chance to grab one of these:

Part of me wants to splurge and grab a second one while I still can... Hmmmm.......

If you're that into Clods you probably should! If you keep a second one NIB it might help fund an elusive Black edition in the future... :D

Looking forward to your build.👍

Hope I do it justice. The shape and quality of plastic looks almost Tamiya standard. The stickers will be the challenge. If they don’t conform well it’ll be a nightmare!!!

The website said only 2 when I ordered so someone else must have got in quick!!!

In the end I decided to bought the only one Durga that I can find in local market. Also some hop ups for DT-03. I'm not sure how effective those rib spike tires are, they just look cool to me.

Nice one @Willy iine!  A good friend of mine has two of those Mini Z trucks (Jimny & 4Runner) and has nothing but good things to say about them (aside from the scale being a little off between the two).  I actually like that they use AAA's instead of a tiny LiPo.

Awesome, thanks for the info!  I heard good things about this Jeep running the longer wheel base.  The main reason why I bought it was because the chassis (and servo) was designed by Akira Kogawa, the same designer who did the Optima MID and others.  I am making a corner in my pretend RC shop dedicated to his work.  

I'm going to test drive the crawler in a bit.  :D

Came home to a late delivery from AT, arrived the day after I flew off. Thanks to @ad456 for picking it up from the floor.
