Lone-wolf Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This looks a lovely scale rig, matteo`s rc movie`s did a full build and run, and it works nice, if i have a minor gripe its the 313mm wheelbase the MST chassis has always been a good platform for detailed Tamiya shells but i guess if you want an MST for a Tamiya body then you get the shorter one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could beg all i want but to no avail, if i want things like this i just buy them, after watching matteo`s build i did think get one if the Hobao DC1 sold but i have decided to keep it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 No amount of begging is gonna get me RCs for the next foreseeable future after ordering a Golf GTE (my want) over a normal one (her need). So here i am, sitting at the side line like the kid that the coach never lets play, imagining all the heroic stuff i would do with all the RCs i wanna buy. The 1/6th Axial, this one, Rival MT8.. meh. 😞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing our bit for the planet.. Well i guess it's a nice side effect (if it's indeed true), but never was a major concern. I'll be honest, we do our part with recycling and energy saving etc, but in the end it's big companies doing 70% of the polluting. We wanted something that's cheap to run if we reign in the throttle pedal, that's it. Good for our wallet, and if it does something for the environment, great. If not, well.. we still would've bought it. It's good that we're coming to winter now, this tends to be the time where i go into "RC-hibernation", and by the time spring/summer comes around, i should've done enough housework, wall painting etc pp to build enough credit with the wife for a new toy lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 That looks very, very pretty! If I didn't already have the Venture for trailing duties, I'd probably snap this up. Still think it needs a rear-mounted spare wheel, with a Land Rover branded wheel cover! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaz! Posted November 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2021 Brilliant video mate makes me want one even more…. 3 points that would need attention, 1, the sliders could be made to look more “in” with styling of the rest of the truck and not like a helicopter’s skid. 2, we’re not ‘Merican and don’t need the indicators lit constantly, the wiring/led could be fitted to a couple of spot lamps….. 3, as already mentioned, needs either a full on matching spare or a covered/3d printed wheel to fit the cover over. Damn you @Jack Reacher, your not making my “absolute need” one of these any favours… 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Love that. I've had three discovery 1s. Had some r2al fun offloading. The tubular bumpers look well good. Is it just me or does it look like it's been slightly bobtailed? I keep saying no more crawlers, but I might need one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 @steephill I think it’s the rear arches to far back you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right👍 I can see the rear quarter panel looks a little short. Nice looking truck though.

Lone-wolf Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I do really like this truck, but for one they are hard to get in UK and i would have to sell some other stuff of if i were to consider it.........never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
