very nice build. I love the wheels, they look a lot like the ones on my daily driver. any Ideas if those are homemade or readily available somewhere?

Aren't the wheels that come on the Tamiya HMMWV/Hummer the same?

pretty cool. a little too much attention to detail with some bits imo, but to each his own.

hua has got some pretty wicked stuff nowadays. having it be in stock would be nice...
rumor has it he's also trying to get a short course truck done, hopefully solid rear axle.

heres something i'm trying to finish off, should be pretty freaking sweet when i get it done.
imho, its gonna be one of the most scale of all the scale poison spyder brusier tubers out there.
all bent and brazed in the back of my samurai. ;)

Hoopty, that thing is looking sweet. I always wanted to learn how to build my own tubers, and maybe even bicycle one day.
