Yep, I know it was set up w/o a-arms, but never found any good pictures to work off of. I messed around a little bit with a maxx diff and my first super chassis as a base, but never could get the suspension figured out.

What about a Rhino? People are doing some crazy **** with em right now with there own racing series and all.

It would be more of a pre-runner but still crawlable. You could cut the hood and grill off the PL body than tube the rest.


just an idea

This is do-able just use tires and wheels off one of those john deer toys.
The die cast ones and even some plastic ones use real rubber.
I just looked at em the other day in the toy section, saying hmmmm.......

That is the best Idea. I love Rhinos, I just wish I had $10,000 to buy one. So I could have an RC rhino!.

I'd like to see and icelandic truck as well, but not the hill climber type. I'm thinking the ones with the huge fender flares sitting on 44s meant for the snow. Make it out of a hard body so you can make some scale cutout flares for it.

some really great ideas guys.
Keep em coming. Remember something you haven't seen around before or done before.

Thought about the DUKW, it would be cool but not very offroad friendly.

I'm making a list of things to build and will toss a dart at the list and choose somthing that way.
