|  Land Rover LR3 LOTS OF PICS so Ive decided to start my first scale crawler project using a ebay Land Rover body, ill try and document this build the best i can so heres pics... holy freakin crap this box is huge. here is my axial for size compairison. my dog seems to think so too.   such wasted space inside this huge box  here it is, already beat up  im a little disappointed that it was damaged coming out of the box, but its gonna be getting a roof rack and spair tire so its not that bad.    they even sent me a scale version of my radio. its amazing there isnt some sort of copyright infringement on this thing.   heres just the body sitting on the axial chassis, thats not what its going on, but im anxious to get an idea of size.    heres the interior, Ive already added a coke can lol cup holders are perfect size.  Here is where the third row seat was, I didnt like how it took up the whole rear section, so i removed it and cut the floor. I dont know if ive ever seen it done before, so im gonna make a subwoofer box. also the bottom will be cut out so i can hide radio equipment inside it.                     and no crawler is complete without its own scale crawler and radio  more to come! |

| Looks good so far. I did one with that same body a while back but I never took any pics. That copycat radio is funny. Now go make a scale crawler for your scale crawler's scale crawler...  |

| painted the sub box and used my phone to take crappy pics. its not mounted down, so thats why it looks like its sitting at a funny angle.    |

| The reason I opted for a fake speaker, is that I think im gonna put the receiver and controls for the lights in this box, and magnets and electronics dont mix. |

| Dude nice truck i did one on my own ass well check it out. If i were you i lower the body just about 1/2 inch or so, i tell you this becouse i did it to mine becouse it kept rolling at about 35 deegre angle and when you want to go uphill or go through obstacles it will tend to flip back. The body is the one that weigth alot up top causing these errors, but other than that great start.   |

| You should probably add a amp rack to the side of the box to keep it more scale looking. This will also give you some more added space to hide things... |

Its getting TLT axles, and a custom frame just for this body. Ill keep you updated, The motor and tranny will be mounted under the hood, hooked to a transfer case under the body, It will look more scale and give more clearance. WVB, The Amp is what im working on next. | |

| Update again. Box painted and added an amp I made out of an old CPU Heatsink, with wires and complete with power indicator light, at the same time I added a capasitor, made out of a capasitor, how Ironic.         A taste of what its gonna look like... not gonna use these rims or tires, however the red lip does look good IMO.   slamed   heres a jumble of half of the lights in the body, there are still a bunch more that will be added.  the front of the truck with side indicators, and headlightsl. will also add fogs, floodlights, and high intensity leds, this thing is gonna shine!  More updates to come |
