Pro-line Ambush 4x4. 1:25 scale crawler. Fashioned after my 1:1, 1st generation International Harvester Scout 800. Top and windshield were scratch built from styrene. Body is molded Lexan. Chassis is steel leaf sprung, steel ladder style rails. Excuse the dust and blemishes, I run this one fairly regularly. Cool small-scale RC.

This is one of the fleet I just put back together. Gold pan mutt, with some cool aftermarket stuff. Composite craft towers, Flashback R/C battery hold downs,rpm front arms, telescoping axles, Raborn? REC aluminum wheels. Funco body.

here’s my “Kinwald restoration” Dudgeon/A-Main truck.
This truck picks up on page 3 for anyone who hasn’t seen it before.

This started life as a Tamiya Rough Rider , what I've done is try and make a Replica of the Full scale Funco SS1 that was the inspiration for the Rough Rider , I've tried to go full 70's with it .
It's a full fabricated metal cage and I've model'd up a body panel set in the same configuration as the full size car in CAD software then 3D printed it , painted it etc , it also has a driver figure with my own head that i 3D scanned and 3D printed , there is a build thread here https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=44715 , just too much to explain here so please take a look .

What was I thinking

Here's my Marui Hunter, just finished yesterday!

This car was bought as a wreck a good 15 years ago, then put on storage once the NiB chassis that I mounted on it broke exactly at the same spot as the original one, while sitting on the shelf With lockdown and all, and no pressure on the modern racers (no races helps!), I figured out it was time to give it some TLC.

Fully restored, some new parts, some older ones fixed, brand spanking new original body + stickers, tyre lettering, fully functional Challenger 260 with 4-cell battery holder and all! A very unpretentious blast from the past that you don't want to run because it'll break just by looking at it already

Build thread here (well at least the past week, this took 15 years to do!)

Lol, seriously funny crap! For the record, i really dig Lonestars Marui....its just that Dadio has so much time invested in that 3d stuff! F

I meant no disrespect to either Lonestar or the Hunter ,Its great that it can be restored and recorded as an early part or the off road RC story , i really want a Samurai even though i'd have to resist the urge to drive it ...... not sure i could resist it though

Congrats Dadio for a well-played victory! And good job everyone Some more killer builds this month

Congrats on the win!! Ran away with it this month.
