Default Need inspiration for a scale sand truck build

Ok I'm getting ready to build an SCX based 2wd sand truck, I have all the mechanical stuff roughly figured out, But I ha,ve not a single clue as to what I want it to look like. I've looked around on google, didn't come up with anything real interesting to look at. I'd appreciate any ideas you can come up with.

you have the option of DAKAR Rally trucks, the semi trucks and the SUV's.

the traditional BAJA 500/1000 trophy trucks

you could also go with a class 4 buggy

or a class 8 truck using a steel frame that resembled a factory built truck frame.

or a ford ranger type garage built truck.

look up robby gordon, kamaz, monster energy baja 1000, in youtube and you'll get some inspiration.

You could look through some of the builds in the FOFF section if that's what you're looking for
