Default TLT Land Cruiser Tuber progress






The Lunchbox wheels are the closest I had to scale at the time. PLans are for some 'pede wheels and swamp dawgs or M2K's.

Open to suggestions...................be gentle tho', it's my first time.........

Thanks.

It's painted. It has some rock rash where I wheeled it w/o the body. Paint isn't that durable. It will be powder coated before it is all finished.

Got a friend that owns his own powder coating shop here in Dallas. He is trying to match it. It has a lot of metal flake in it so it's kind of hard but I'm sure he can get it close.

Hey Mike, if you wanna look at the wheels to get a better idea of what you want, I have M2K's and Swamps, as well as some Moabs. Just let me know when you wanna get together.

Very nice work. Looks like a Boyer. I even have a Boyer in a similar color. Again, nice work.

I wish I could take the credit, but it's a Boyer. I tried the supa crawla route but couldn't get the cg down low enough so I decided to go more of a scale route.

As soon as the pc gets done, I'll try to match some paint to it. It would be an awesome color.

Hey Mark, that would be great. Those are the two tires I have been deciding between. I had some wheels picked out but I ended up pimping the Lunchbox out with them. Ever seen a Lunchbox with a brushless set up?

I have been wondering tho', which 'pede wheels to use, fronts or rears. Any suggestions as to what works better?

WEll, don't know what a lunchbox is, so I have to say no.

I have some pede wheels, front and rear, that you can check out. I also have a set of RPM wheels that have a set of Mashers that I use on my Pede if you wanna check those out.
