Thank for the positive comments. I do have a couple of small alloy bumbers that I made for it. They are fine on sand but anywhere else the Proline protects the fragile bits

Looks the business. Like the tinted screen just makes more personal. Top job on the Driver, in the process of doing a fun one for mine. Will put up pics when he's finished.

The body mounts come from two tc member's tutorials. The front is the foam and velcro method and the rear is using the screw holes for the hopper shell.

Like the colour scheme apart from the wheels. I have a super G version. Still prefer the original tho.

Thanks for comments. It was purley by chance that it ended up on the 'Bull chassis. The chassis was sitting on my spares shelf. I doing a sort out and just left it on top of it whilst tidying up. The more I looked at it the more I liked it.

The gold stirpe reminds me of the Starsky n Hutch car - very retro. Now if I could only paint a check shirt on the driver lol.

As far as I remember it was used on poor quality steel cars ie BL cars and some of the jap cars. They came with inbuilt rust so the colour was a perfect match.

Here's a couple of pics of the chassis as requested. @ Andersop thanks as I said I do like a challenge. I would prefer to bring a wreck of a shell back to life rather than just spray up a new shell.

The boxart has a 17 turn Kyaosho Atomic force and the black one has a parma team spec. Both fly:)

Seriously, there have been a lot of enquiries as to how this was acheived. I use the KISS (keep it simple stupid)method. It works for Tamiya why re-invent the wheel. If you look closely at the chassis and next to the Gumout Decal you will see Lancia 037 Rally mounts. Hope this helps everyone out there.

Dont need to glue the tires on the rims!
def4x4

Good idea going to try it. Another way is to put rubber bands on the rims. It works a treat. It's not my idea it was on a set of clod wheels I got some time ago.
