MRC Q-tee 4wd Street to Off-road mod.

Post by zyplex »

Here's my old Q-Tee (MRC/Academy) 4wd R/C. I transformed it from street rod to off-road basher. The Q-tee was made by Academy Models and distributed by MRC. The Q-Tee is basically the same as the Academy Wyvern 4wd. Enjoy the photos and thanks for your comments.

I like that original chassis! But then again, I did the opposite of what you did...I took a 4WD off-roader and turned it into a muscle-car on-roader. 8)

Oh man you should have left it alone as they're pretty rare, and cool looking to boot!

No worry, the mods are few and completely reversible. I have all the original parts stored.

I like the result of the conversion.
While the original body is nice, I don't like how it fits the buggy. Keep it for a nice on-roader with realistic wheel stance.

I've got two of these, one sealed and one only partially built. Looking through get rid of both if someone is interested.
