Anyone managed to get a rear axle mount? Mk.

Well that has destroyed the passion and creativity in me, thanks for that. Goodbye MSUK and Modelsport, Ill spend my money elsewhere. Mk.

Yeh, building a picture in my head, and kind of using the thread to do it! Good point, I think the Wraith would have been at the top of my list as something different, but cost has now ruled that out. The TT-02 R is a raised chassis, so in theory is semi-off road, acceptable of gravel. Pedigree of the Lancia is fantastic too. Mk.

OK, change of plans, buying a flat, so budget is restricted: Kyosho Sand Master

Cheers. Belt Drive and Lightweight, nice, where are you sourcing the model from? Mk.

Stripped out a few more... Kyosho Sand Master

Prices: I have found the following models for consideration so far: Monster Truck: Lunch Box / Midnight Pumpkin (Another!)

Rulled-out Stadium Truggy's - Not a fan of the looks... Mk.

If the car is a mess, Ill strip it down. If not Ill spend the two hours enjoying some sun, having sex, or drinking a cold beer. You can clean your models if you want... Robust and Rugged Models! Mk.

OK, get where you are coming from, but lets say heavy usage between strip downs: Say Build in the winter, 4 good months of mid-spring into Summer running: Re-oil and brush up. Rebuild in the mid-Autumn Few runs in the winter (depending on conditions and frequency rebuild say 1-2 times) Wet winter months shelved (oiled and brushed off before and after shelving). Mk.

I want something I can take care building out the box, run for a year or more (having a lot of fun) without having to strip down every 2nd day out. I don't mind the odd thing breaking, but rugged and fast is essential. After either a fatal accident, or a medal for long service, Ill either strip for parts or rebuild after a 12 months and set off again. I envisage a wall of long standing hero's. I don't mind spending money on a piece of chassis that will last forever, but I don't want to spend money on Lipo and brushless. Call me old fashioned, but I want the best of old technology (however I don't mind a bit of new age design). Mk.

No re-re-Falcon's, and I think the only legacy of the Falcon still purchasable is the beefed up and bulked out Blitzer Beetle... 4WD 540 noted.

The Tamiya XR311 also falls short (something tells me I should build this one day), but the fun bashing, speed, off-road capability is just not there... Mk.

I don't deny that these would be fun to build, and I get the appeal of the Rock Crawlers and trail trucks, I am particularly enjoying the looks of the GMade SAWBACK, but I am looking for an element of speed and grind. So I removed these from the line up... Thanks for capturing this though. (I have added speed to my brief). Mk.

No budget, except for consideration of the fun factor. Not going to spend a fortune on something that is dull to build, and dull to drive. Mk.
