Nice work ! Realy! I suggest: 1) Cut off the "brick" on the front of chassis e.g. like I cut it  2) Make custom 4-link e.g. like I made it  3) Buy another wheels/tires (another then that stock pucks) e.g. RC4WD 1.55 Rock Crusher X/T  |

Best upgrades are...........bearings, GPM steering, rear 4-link, new motor (55T, personal preference), and new tires. Nice looking build BTW. |

I was able to make a rear link basicly for free. I used the stock lower links for the axial ax-10, (upgraded to bent links on crawler) and drilled into the tub after measuring with the stock ones. You can pick up the links for a couple of bucks, or if you know someone with the ax-10, you could probably get them from them. Really easy. only took me a few min to do.  The only thing that took a lil time was customizing a new mount for the rear shocks. |

Sid, Great to see your Land Cruiser finally. Easiest upgrade after bearings and the gpm kit would be tires, as Fixed13 mentioned. There are soooo many options out there. First tires I got were losi mini rock claws, really cheap (on sale ) on ebay, perform really well but not so scale looking, tamiya rock cruisers are decent enough too. If you have the budget, RC4WD or Proline tires I believe, look great and perform great as well. |

1.55's to look good? Definitely. Really scale looking. If I had the budget, I'd get them.
