pardonmyn00b's RC4WD Gelande 2 w/Cruiser Body Kit

[BigSki]

Care to do any fancy-schmancy scale cow-que-lations? I am actually excited to see this nice of a body, I'm hoping it becomes available separately very soon. I think that someone needs to go to Chino's house and tell him to breathe!

[MattTheGenus]

Huh I always thought you were a mildly autistic middle aged man, turns out you're just a mildly autistic young man, color me suprised.


Awesome kit, but is this the first ever scale truck kit with tires that are too small?

[Scrap]

Nope. Not too small tyres for a stock rig. If tinterwebs is right the original tyre size for the 1:1 was only 28". The Dirt Grabber scales up to about 31" or 32".

Hope you had suitable protective clothing while opening the strange box Mr n00b. There are some strange things in space.

The body looks so great that it's a real shame the chassis doesn't have leaf springs.

Impressive. That went faster than my D110 RTR. You're so good at tiny trucks I can't beat you even when I'm cheating.

I was thinking the same thing...

looks very good straight out of the box

[tedo]

As the kids say, "sick, bro".

I'm getting one. This is absolutely a perfect trail platform!

Also I can't wait to see what you SBG guys do with these...

Mine didn't come with any. I think that was a promotional giveaway. Mine came with the Legos.

I'm just a mildly sarcastic 30 year old.

The tires are fine for a stock rig, even a size too big. The next commenter will explain...

I had my goggles on so I could breathe the space air! I converted a G2 to leafs right here:

You better believe there will be a 45 in my tiny truck garage soon.

[Bananaclip]

Hell to the yes

[pardonmyn00b]

I tried on a set of RC4WD 1.9 MTZs and some Gmade VR01 wheels and I am thoroughly satisfied. Also through on some hubcaps I had.


You might also notice the height of the truck shrunk a little. I internally limited the stock shocks by 10mm with some silicone tube.

[Rckcrwlr]

hubcaps????

[SuperDrty]

Love the hubcaps, they remind me of the ones on a 3/4 ton 74 GMC in my family, just unpainted.

[sally1800]

Wheels looks perfect

[new2rocks]

What a difference a set of wheels and lower ride height make. I love the GMade wheels for a top heavy truck because of their natural weight. Looking great.

[kakachille]

Wow looks noob-tastic

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Buying my MTZ now before they all sold out! Those are gonna be the tires for this truck !
