I was stoked to see a hard body cruiser back on the rc scene. Bare with me, this may be a long build, but here we go!

Looking good, I was hoping someone would do this build.

Will you be converting this to leaf springs?

Actually, I was thinking about converting my 1:1 to four link![emoji1]

HAHA,love it, usually people make the scale version look like the 1:1, not the other way round.

Hey mate
Just wanting to know what sort of knife use you used and what did you use to make the rear of the cab and what grit sand paper did you use and if theres and any thing else you used that might help me let me know because im building a long wheel base hj47 troop carrier on the gellande II d110 chassis and im thinking i might extend the chassis 10-15mm longer ive never seen one done before so ive been looking for what i need to do this
Cheers chris

I use an Exacto hobby saw, and sandpaper from 80 grit to start, setting a full sheet on a smooth surface so I can square up both sides.

I love the troopy (yours?)

There are many scale builders with much more skill than me.
