Wanted to update this and give it a new more agressive Baja look.
The 1:1 reference shows the real Baja Class 5's have quite tall wheel/tires so I wanted to switch out my current sand paddle and ribbed tires for something that you would actually race with. These we the original images I used to inspire the original build.
I am using the Tamiya Hummer tires cut down at the front on Kyosho Tomahawk rims. Standard Hummer wheel and tire on the rear.
I always wanted lights on the roof but could find the right combo. Thanks to RPM's new mini light bar I now have a light bar I am happy with and looks scale.
work in progress.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
