Project Hilux Land Cruiser 80

[BMW Fanboi]

well... i've spend all my free time on this build. The model kit I'm using is a 1/24 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series made by Tamiya. So far, I've got both axles mounted, but still need some improvement. Now I'll let the pics speak for themself.

questions, comments, all welcome

Update: Now the rear end have 4 links suspension set up. Trimmed up the engine bay and installed the servo, still need to mount the upper links on the front axle.

Awesome Idea.

The work is looking really good.

That is a different set of tires than what came on mine.

I like those tires too.

MMMmmmmm

I Love it...

And to think I almost give away my Micro crawler..

Be watching, Alot.

I was stuffing a Fujimi Suzuki sidekick body on one but I like your

idea better.

Gonna have to run out to a LHS and find those tires your using too.

wow sounds cool, i mite have to see if i can find that thread if you posted it.

and just found the box i got the rims in so i got the name they are RC4WD Rok Lox not so sure im going to use them on the fished product, if the hub was just a bit smaller they'd be perfect

thanks, and yea, the suspension is very soft and great for crawling

btw, i just checked ebay and i could have abother LMC for $85 with shipping. lol its really tempting but i wish they were a bit faster and 3 mite be a bit much lol

Thanks for the info.

Dang, some spendy tires and that is just for 2 with out wheels?? ??????

I think I might have a extra winch bumper for a LandCruizer.

Hardest part is finding it

no prob, glad i could help, and yea they are a bit pricey, but they are very grippy.

Update: Started to build the engine.
