Did some more work on the wagon, also got a new esc which works great. Found it fairly easy to make things from styrene so will probably have a go at making the actual Landcruiser chassis and play around with ideas for some softer leaf springs

its really strong as well when layered. just dont know how safe the dust is that comes off when you sand or file it, like if you happen to breath it in.

thanks guys, yea that was styrene for the leafs but i used 2 layers of 1mm and for my new chassis i made im going to make some scale looking leafs from layering 0.5 styrene which will make it more softer. Also going to be running 2inch tires on it so it may end up riding kind of high

finished off the chassis and started on the springs. Now running mud terrains from a tamiya mini 4wd that i slipped over some of those hard lindberg tires from a 1/20 kit, there now bigger than the aoshima tires i was running before. Also have some baja claws on the way that i thought id try for a laugh
