I'm confused. E10 vs TRX4?

That's a great pic! I'd love that setup with the teardrop trailer!

Me too, it even has the TRX-4 high lift red jack heh.

I have an acquaintance here where I live with a real Defender D110 it looks just like the red version TRX-4 but without the winch bumper but it has the roof rack and sweet off-road tires

He told me it cost (including the initial purchase of the Defender) $80,000(us$ I know your in aus) to get it to near showroom condition. Granted his looks basically brand new, but depending on how nice a Rover you want they get expensive fast here in the states anyway. I've seen older beat up d90s for $16,000 us on ebay.. i'd totally get into one of those if I can save up money fast enough lol never seems to happen lately

I had to scrutinize that picture to make sure it was not a hard body on a rc trail truck!

Only thing I would imagine would be changed if one of us built it.. the tires on the trailer would be a little bigger ;)

Yea the whole point of these 1.9" tired rigs isnt to be better at crawling, the point is, literally, to be WORSE at crawling than the 2.2 tired TVP crawlers. Its more of a challenge to drive a more scale truck. Thats actually the reason I have a barrage on 1.9's, and my wife and 9 year old daughter drive my old maxtone 10 on 2.2's. Even though they are pretty terrible drivers, not having the decades of rc experience i have, they can keep up with me crawling due to the superior crawling of the maxtone 10 (same thing as an everest 10, just a different color)
