RC4WD Gelande with Cruiser body, rust and weathering.

[Scotski]

This truck is great! Oddly, today is the first time I saw this thread and yet I also had hired Snake to drive my cruiser. He was the perfect size and It was a toss up between him, Jason or Freddy Kruger. Scary guys are good but Snake is a real tough guy and perfect for hard core crawling.

Thank you, Snake is just the right size, other figures that I've used before look too small.

Hello sir,

How did you mount the leaf springs on the Gelande 2 please?

I had some leaf springs kicking about from an RTR Yota. I used a mix of Gmade and RC4WD mounts to fit them successfully.

It's really just a case of getting everything lined up and drilling new holes in the chassis rails where necessary.
