I wish i had the patience for the fine details. i concentrate too much on the body itself

Thanks sir, it'll be good to see your Class 3 up close and personal. And I dunno, but the amount of work you've got in your tube chassis alone tells me you know the fine detail work just as well as I do. That said, I may have overdid the details. It's a 63 point C2. Ha!

Thanks very much. There'll certainly be a video at some point. Hopefully n00b holds my beer and watches things with my camera while I break it.

Sadly, and partially expected, this truck is just far too nice (and wide, and heavy) to do very well in any comps. That said, it absolutely rocks on the rocks and trails. So much fun with some meatier tires and a washed out creek bed.

[Szczerba]

Cheater tires!


It was so awesome to check this rig out in person in the rough and rugged SouthWestern Pennsylvania rollling hills.

I couldn't agree more! I remember seeing this in the starting area at ECSC and I said to myself "noo way I would risk messing that rig up" - truth be told I was happy that my motor burned up that day, haha! This truck looks amazing in person, who cares about toy truck comps? haha

I got to judge him during the run. It was definitely the most scale driving rig there. I think at least 3 lights came off along with numerous other scale items. It was great to watch.


Just watch those reverses man;)

That rig is awesome . Looks like a 1.1 driving down the trail

If only I could drive it more without the fear of wrecking it, huh? ;)

Many people were very concerned about me actually comping with it.

That was a sad moment. If you judge again next year, prepare for a different experience.

TYVM!

A new video I did on my own. Birthday gift of a GoPro from my wife has added a whole new angle to my videos.

Video is sweet love this rig

Love the underwater footage, Matthew! It's not often you get to see that in the videos.

The shoe box looks pretty good too.

[Alpha Male]

I like how the music changes when the camera is under water. Not sure how you did it if the song was added afterward, but it's neat.

Thanks for the nice comments folks. I did the musical changes with a couple audio filters. My wife got me the GoPro for my birthday, and I love having multiple angles in my vids.

LOVE this build!

[Kylar]

Awesome build and the body is bad ass!! This is also one of my favorite style Range Rovers. Fantastic job all around!

[o0wiz0o]

Love this build. Down with the fool that did not give it 5 stars! Just added my 5 star vote.

It was me. I'm just not a fan of imthatguy or trucks.

I'm a fan of all Land Rovers. And Toyota's. I have a problem.

It's twelve yards long and two lanes wide.

Wrong. It's a Land Rover. Look it up. ;)

English Double Decker bus, close enough.

The Range Classic is still by far the best Range Rover design, IMO.

So awesome, that last video is way cool.
