Gaz! Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 heres the link to my old one mate, http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/184999-tamiya-mercedes-dakar-truck-cc01-based/ it was based on a cc01 with a tamiya truck cab but same principles to build. if you want exo cages etc. then you need a welder on hand to knock one up for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.Jan Itor Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks Gaz im might fire a few pms your way i would do it myself but just don't have a welder yet been watching loads of vids including Charley boormans race to Dakar series in 2006 shame he didn't finish it. Ive orderd a 2014 sticker sheet so i can update the truck looking at tyres and try and get a few sets like the trucks use looking at rims but might just respray the ones i have or put the color of them into the color scheme so they match was going to get sand ladders but not see any on the body of the tracks unlike the Camel trophy Land rovers Going to look at stepping up the motor to something abit faster but that is a big maybe more to come when i think of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) a very fine say 600 sand maybe a 800 sand you dont wanna go to crazy and start removing detail. the front driver side kiddie mirror needs moving off the truck, the first scania "axial" in image looks to be a G class ( tipper trucks and likes big 6x2) body. but it does have a R720 look to it also if its a bruder and likes, they are plastic welded, bust out the airbrush and plenty of masking tape / fluid. maybe even grab some plasticard and rebuild the front light fitting and bumper bar. dip platsic into boiling water, straight out and onto a metal say ratchet head , few eleastic bands to keep it in place while it cools, can give you some of the curves needed for the wrap from front to side on bumper bar Edited June 19, 2014 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Heres what i came up with Build thread http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/63842-daves-tundra-thread/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 looks like its already modded. notice the front end inside, under the floorpan , see them two stubby round things with holes in. they are shock mount tower poles. notice at the bottom three smallish holes, these would have been raised or sunken pushclips. the small space between the floorpan mould and the cab is lugged up, these lugs are then pressed with a hot iron to melt the platsics to each other and make a strong'ish join. you could, dremel cut these with a very thin dremel disc. even when cut the main cab may not release from the floorpan/interior mould Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
