My First Crawler!

[Jray2955]

Hi after having a disagreement with my Losi 5t and ending up in a cast and on my bum for the next 6 weeks decided it was time to build my own little crawler.

As a massive LR fan the Carisma Range Rover kit was the obvious choice, but I have a few questions.

Does it come with bearings and all parts straight out the box?

Is there any immediate must do upgrades?

What is the best scale looking wheels for it?

I'm really not a fan of the stock wheels I want something that looks more realistic and Land Rover-like?

Thanks

Afaik the kits come with everything except the electrics, several members have built them, so hopefully someone will be along to clarify things👍

You can get 3 spoke scale R Rover wheels for a scale look, if you build the kit the finest bit of advice i can give is use a smidge of grease on each and every screw you will thank me for that, i think the kit comes with bearings you will need radio, esc, servo

Yeah they are a bit out of budget for me!

Is there any metal wheels in the style of the series land rover wheels?

What tyres will fit this model?

It helps the screws go in without stripping the screw heads
