Default "Rhino" 1/9 Nissan Patrol 4x4 Y60 1997 build with Vaterra Ascender K5

Thanks to my friend Jia who send me a high resolution photo of Nissan Patrol Y60, I went to wentworthville officework to get a blueprint successfully printed!

This hard body will be 1/9 scale and allows matching big chassis like axial scx10 and Vaterra Ascender K5. I chose ascender k5 because of the stretchable 2 piece frames and scale look of axle.

I prefer 1/9 scale crawler simply because I could make good use of those cheap 1.9 rims and tires, as well as great off road performance.

Now, less talk, more photos.

Trail test of this rig in North Parramatta Lake Reserve. Maybe I should consider making reinforced pillars and welding tube rollcage......

But I still have faith in this "Rhino"! It completes the trail test and provides feedback on the infects which I should improve. Let's wait for "Rhino V2.0".
