well, i finally got my MRC!
heres a few shots of how she started:

...and heres a peak at my plan:

not sure what im gonna do chassis wise yet.
maybe ill use the stocker, but ill probably end up with something custom.

crawladan · 10-26-2008, 04:26 PM

lol? a van?!?! well i dont really like scalers anyway so good luck

Blakeh · 10-26-2008, 04:38 PM

Very creative! I like the idea. Cant wait to see it when its done

hardhead · 10-26-2008, 04:58 PM

haha heres you a paint scheme

TattooKenny · 10-26-2008, 05:12 PM

Look's good. Gona be a little top heavy though......But if you just messing around with it, go for it

j0e · 10-26-2008, 07:40 PM

yeah, im gonna see what i can do to lower the cog.
maybe a heavier chassis, shorter suspension, and some weight on the axles if needed.
but its mostly gonna be a lil' basher / trail runner;
not a dedicated crawler.

Might try M chassis rims with Mini-T Dirt Hawgs to better fit the wheel wells.

Yea, I've been contemplating it too

killa b · 10-26-2008, 10:15 PM

give it a mystery macine paint scheme

it looks like a great scaler idea

CLA · 10-27-2008, 05:15 AM

Haha, looks like a super redneck child snatcher van! Just dont paint "free candy" on the side!

its funny you said that,
i posted a pic of a "free candy" van over on scale4x4!

i plan mine to be more like an actual lifted van.
ive got some inspiration from a real one.

swisherteets · 10-27-2008, 09:43 AM

lol wow that van definately does scream child rapeist... lol
I do like the idea for the mystery machine for it though. could make for a really unique look

little update...
one of the multiple steps of body filler.
(four holes on each side, plus one on top)

kinda hard to see due to the white putty; i would have prefered green.
ive also got white primer... thats what the LHS had is stock.

also, i have a pre-order in for a kaetwo point five chassis.
should be here in the next week or so.

LOL don't you know that Parma makes a lexan version of that body, I'm surprised no one mentioned it

This will fix your CG= PARMA

don't even waste your time with that thing ....

That body weighs more than the LMC

WranglerV8 · 01-07-2009, 10:23 AM

I'm not a fan of the van,but I like that your thinking outside the box.good job and good luck.
