and now for your question
It was a Losi Micro-Crawler and he is adding a scale body to it, to make it look better
Like mycrors4 said, it started off as a 1/24 Losi Micro Rock Crawler, I'm using a 1/25 Aoshima Toyota Hilux Double Cab as the model kit conversion.

Thanks Kevin, I was inspired by a member from Scale4x4 in this project, and I'm keeping the stock tires.

From the last update, the truck was only a mock up, the ride height will be lower than that.

Update: Lowered the ride height a little, also moved the front axle forward, front suspension links mounted. (In the photos, there's no suspension shocks installed on the chassis)



This will be the ride height when its done.


Stock front bumper, don't really like the look of it, so they got to go, I will be building a custom one in the future.


Added front fender flares, and since the front axle is moved forward, I had to chop off a bit of the wheel well to clear up the tires from turning. (Fender flares are just a mock up)





Made room for the tranny to fit in.
