The first is my TMaxx with a Cruiser body.

The second is a few toys including the TMaxx 40, the Red Nikko and the 100 series they were selling at ToysRUs a couple of years ago.

Anyone out there got an original Tamiya Wild Willy? I got the wild willyII - never driven just bought as a cool kit! Need to get me a 40 body for my T-Maxx. Hey, maybe I could put a .40 in it. (That would be inSANE! ha ha!)

I got one of these Tronico Land Cruisers, in Germany they were sold as *BIG MAXX*

Yep they sag a little in the rear, all in all its a nice eyecatcher and one of the biggest rc cruisers.

Meanwhile i got a nice collection of these rigs but......... theres always someone who has more toys.........

Those Cruisers belong to one of our French Land Cruiser Brothers: www.toyota-bj40.com

Look for the petits, some realy rare LC´s there!

My last project





A small sized version of my rig

If you source the Nikko "Thor" mini truck you will be in inexpensive RC heaven as the chassis is the exact same except the Thor is 4wd! Simply swap body's and enjoy! If you can source the non US version of the Cruiser it was two speed 4x4 AND has a working winch! I have yet to find one but I also haven't looked in a long time.

BTW Peter.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Jake...that RC looks about as bad-ass as your real Cruiser.

found me a nikko thor and another fj40 nikko for parts ,or was sold to me for parts .ended up taking it all apart and found a broken piece of plastic in the motor . took it out the cruiser also works now . ended up taking the parts cruiser and the nikko thor and mix and matched all the good pieces . to make one working RC . now i just need to make a roll bar for it . one cruiser is
2wheel drive .the other is now 4wheel drive . thanks for the info about the thor . the 4x4 one works alot better .it doesn't look pretty but it works . both the cruiser and the thor where pretty beat up .
