Thanks! Yeah, you need to visit sometime.

Btw, I'll be in Portland in a couple weeks to visit my family. Anything happening on the 18th or 19th? Slim chance but going to try and see if I can sneak in a couple hours of crawl time.

We have a u4 race that wekend if you want to head a little further north. I have an extra rig if you need it.

Doesn't look like we'll have much spare time this trip.

Thank you gentlemen, I could use an EB hard body or two as well.

Your builds have always caught my attention Dean. I hadn't touched my RC stuff since last years Axialfest, well until I saw this thread...pulled my hard body Toyota out of storage today. Humm lets see where this goes.

Great little truck, sir. Keep your eyes peeled for a limited edition EB hard body coming from the other side of the pond this summer.

That one is gonna be nice. I'm not a Ford guy, but man I'm a sucker for vintage trucks/wagons.

I decided to go with a mildly modified appearance like most 1:1 Bronco's I see. I used a piece of Maddogrc C-channel frame rail for the retro looking bumpers and fitted it with a Maddogrc slim light bar. I will eventually build sliders and inner fenders for it and may do a minimal interior. Tires/wheels I've had for years. They are RC4WD Rock Crushers on RC4WD 1.55 glue on wheels. The winch is from 3racing and will be fitted with a Maddogrc winch upgrade kit as soon as I get it wired.
I have to admit, its a pretty well built kit with great fit and finish. It seems to handle exceptionally well too. I'm really liking the more realistic and better proportioned rigs compared to the humongous tire builds. Although less capable, the added realism is a refreshing take on this part of the hobby.

Bumped for beauty, brawn, and general bad-assery...

Apparently, since that was a year ago. JSScale / MFab collaborated on one, and there are a bunch of builds out there (most on the GCM CMAX chassis). I don’t know if the body is still in production.
