Monster jeep

Just finished modifying this jeep body (these bodies are hard to find). I cut out the side windows so you could see the new driver and copilot. New brush bar and light rack. Also it has a more aggressive spare tire. I can’t wait to get this jeep muddy. There are more pictures in my gallery at rcmod just take a look.

It does kinda look like he's raising one leg to piss. Hehe.

I love the mod work though. Those are probably the most realistic drivers I've seen. They're the perfect scale.

Nice work.

Like the colour on the Jeep.

Drivers look like copies of the ones from Racing Legends

The driver is dead ringer for the Dale Earnhardt looking guy in the middle.

More Racing Legends drivers...

Phast Motors Driver (<- note it's singular)
Add it on top of your PCB for a realistic appeal.
$7.50
$6.00

Wonder if/when they are available they'll be more than Racing Legends knockoff's. At Racing Legends 3 euros gets a set of three drivers (about $4.00US for the set + shipping).

Damn... I gotta get me some of those little driver dudes...

Biohazard... that's pretty cool lookin'... although I don't know what you mean when you said the Jeep shells were hard to find, I see them all the time at my local Shaqs...

:???: Ya know... it kinda reminds me of a tiny version of Rippers Land Cruiser MZM...

bird,
Around here they are pushing the new se models and monster trucks, so they have none of the old zip zaps in stock. Also they were giving them away after thanksgiving with a fifty-dollar purchase. So now there are none left, not unless you want to pay 20 dollars plus shipping on ebay, no way
I think the drivers were a nock off of that French dude. I didn't have to pay for the shipping from France. I traded some guy at a toy show for some unused slot cars I didn't want any more.

piss water

By the way I couldn't find anything to make water, so I bought some of this "E-Z water" at a hobby shop. When it melted it turned a light yellow. but when I put it on the brown track and it dried it became PISS to hard to take off so I left it. Oh well won't use that stuff again live and learn. Here is a picture of the track if anyone cares and one picture of monster patrol catching some air

I dig that track, well except for the spots where your dog pissed on it, but other than that it's pretty cool. ;)

yea actually it looks like it'd be fun with a few MTs.
I'd call it Kitty Litter Crater.

go with it dude, can't waste that driving area.

Yeah....if I had that track, the piss colored water wouldn't bug me all that much
