Looks great. Articulation looks good and the wheels turned out nice. Is the back made from a mailbox?

| Body mock-up to determine front axle placement...waiting on the USPS to get my leaf-spring material to me before I can go any further (so far 10 days from NY to WI !)   |

| The body turned out a little different style (shorter wheelbase), more similar to this:  ..I'll probably use this paint scheme too, as I've already got the paints |

Hi, Great build! I'm also a big fan of the dakar lorry's, having seen them in action several times. Acceleration is really impressive as the Ginaf you use as reference has 1000HP! But what I wanted to ask, does anybody know if there are Lexan truck body's available is these scales? Would like the us 1.9 wheels. |
