The more anxious i get about the RTR gettin here the more I realize this samurai body may be a wee on the short side. Any how got the rims in so did some more work, and yes my real zuk I took tire paint marker on the lettering cause I think white letters are still cool
Alos yes I tend to spray paint alot of crap on my real zuk to thus the colors so yes it is to my scale:

Are you going to make your own chassis?
You may have a difficult time reducing the Dingo 8.5".

Have you considered using a Losi Mini Crawler?
