Hi Austria!

I had a Toyota Tundra, based on a Tamiya XC chassis. I wanted a pretty litte fun scaler, not a hardcore championship car.

First I made a fine cover for the bed, imitating a spare tyre and some spare stuff under it.. but it is completely empty


Than, I needed a small, but unique wheel. My first original idea was a 96mm Ansmann tyre, but it was too large, so the final 'pimp' solution was a buggy set. It is around 88mm, and as soft as a fine trial tyre.



Then, finally yesterday I had succesfully bought a Ninco Crawler, for my Tundra. It is a Losi Mini Crock Crawler clone.




So this is the start of the rebuild process. The wheelbase is 311mm. I will use our HRCCT ladder chassis (plasma cut) for the build:


Thats for now, to be continued..

The ladder frame is compatible for SCX motor mount. For this mini, i need to modify it a bit.

The cover is simple paper towel with wood glue, mixed with water 1:1. I put the things (wheel, petrol tank, first aid kit, etc.) on the bed, then laid down a layer of fine nylon, and finally put the glued towel to them. It dries under a few hours, and will be opaque. Then I painted it with basic green Revell paint and shaded with black (using a cheap china made airbrush).
