FMS LC80 Toyota.

Good evening everyone,

So I had a bloody good spot of luck the other day and won "do u RC"s raffle for the above rig.

 

It arrived today and I'm dead impressed.

Feels very sturdy and aiming to take it out tomorrow,  with the Defender, to get some trail photos. 

It was even the new V2 and has the interior with a driver which was quite a shock. 

 

Rob has been really good with the process and although I'm still very nervous, for various reasons, it's been a good experience overall.

 

It'll be interesting to start modifying it once I finish the Defender build.

Nice little rig and well done for winning it, worth looking at gears in both axles and transmission a lot of these models have plastic gears and they are known to strip the teeth

 

Edit...looks like im wrong as modelsport website say they have full metal gears

I hope windy is not going to be the driver  as he loved the old cider

He's just dropping off some flour 😄 

 

I'm already planning what I want to do with this rig.

 

I want to convert it to be a pickup, like the following photo.

 

It'll be a challenge, but my model making back ground should help me, and I won't start until I have a few days to sink in to it, as well as the correct tools and components I'll need.

 

I could probably just buy a shell for it, but in case I can't, I'll be able to modify this one I feel. 

It won't have as long of a rear section, but I feel it would work.
