Mercedes Benz 300 GD
Hi guys, this is what I did lately. You can find this body made in the 80s by the spanish brand Rico, the model is a Mercedes Benz 300 GD 4x4, the same model was also made by the argentinian brand Yidalux, but in this case is almost impossible to find. The chassis is a Rc4wd Bruiseruptor (the same I used before with a Yota body), which I have customized a bit to fit the new body; I think some other Rc4wd chassis could fit as well. I also modified a bit the body to fit the chassis, I added some details on it like drains for the doors, windshield wiper, front fenders, an exhaust, a driver, I have customized the bed and I added a reinforcement for the roll bar and finally painted the body. I hope to take some action shots soon, maybe in the mud ;).
---- Update 04/09/2013: I have painted the bed in black, I added some weathering details on the interior and added an antenna.

That is so cool. I love it when people do stuff like this. Taking a toy and making it into an awesome scale RC. Great work. I'd add some sort of antenna to whip around, but other than that, it's perfect!

Thanks Skottoman, yes I love making scale trucks taking bodies from toys or even taking bodies from big static kits.
