Thats awsome KC. I too have been watching it on scale4X4rc. I think it would look better with a different wheel/ tire combo. A more realistic tire/ wheel combo and then narrow them a bit so they fit a bit better under the body. And you gotta put some stuff in the roof rack.

well...this is the way I think it looks best. and I've tried all of my options. the geolanders I was going to use aren't big enough and there isn't a size between them and these. and bigger is always better. if you saw the truck in person you would know how big I'm talking about. and 12 lbs so far. even with it's limited flex it should go just about anywhere. (talking realistic accomplishments here)

That look awesome KC! I like the looks fof the body, and I think the tires (size) look sweet. I would suggest Swamp Dawgs, but they are getting a little old on scale rigs.

Although it already looks killer, might try and raise the exhaust a little. Caught me off guard, didn't expect to see it.

Nice work, wish I had the patience to do half that good!

hahaha...I'm a 33 year old kid...lol

and if you think THIS is impressive look around a bit more at scale4x4...there are quite a few scale rigs there with a lot more detail than mine.

I already fixxed the tail pipes and thanks for the replies guys!

Have you ever seen the all-t's imex makes, they are bigger than the mashers.

Looks pretty sweet KC. Definately liking the Landy body! I think the Imex Baja Claw style tires would look sweet on it, but at 4" OD, they might be a little small for you. Another thing you might consider is ditching the spare on the back, and putting another fullsize M2K (or whatever other tire you choose) on the rack. Other than that, it's coming along quite nicely. Post some new pics as you progress!

Also, where did you find the mini roller fairlead? That is too cool!

I only asked because on one of your post, you mentioned having to wait a week for some spare $$$...I figured you were waiting for your allowance

Looks awesome. Until you added the skid plate. I didn't even know solid axle rigs used skid plates??? But considering the quality and detail of everything else, the skid plate seems slapped on there. Unless you plan to change it out for a different metal later?
