Busdriver 6209 Posted October 18, 2022 Spurred on by @Yoshimitsuand his Talbot I thought I’d give L&L another chance. I have to say all looks good. Will be fitted to my fwd tt02-s that I’ve just converted. Going to use magnetic mounts. The other wheels I just bought on a whim??? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bRIBEGuy 3044 Posted October 18, 2022 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....... 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!!!

Gabranth 216 Posted October 20, 2022 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. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bRIBEGuy 3044 Posted October 20, 2022 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
