Hello and great work... well done, would be happy to buy it as a kit.

Thank you mate. Bonus, im looking at getting 8466 kit, as iv seen one 2nd hand complete going cheep. Even so it looks very similar to the 8297 off roader iv got, saying that my 60% of my 8297 is now on my truck haha

Yer i now prefer it... Their was a little rub when going over big bumpy turrain, but slightly changed the bumper and it seem ok now What are power puller wheels? Dennis

Very cool, love it

Hello, A little up date. I have added a winch to the front what is operated by remote. Hope you like Next im looking into. building a frame on the rear and have a canopy put over it..... make it look like a Dakar rally truck

Thank you for the reply's. I know it will not be to everyone's taste. The suspension works the same but does has less body roll, which seem to make it better, also with it less top heavy and the weight lower to the ground i.e the battery box, it climbs better and has more grip, but i do agree it does look like it weighs to much The turning circle is the same, Im now looking into making it drive/ move quicker... i will get a video up soon

Hello everyone Iv got a 9398 crawler and mad the truck before... but didnt really like the look... One thing i didnt like was i thought the it was to high, making it top heavy and also when turning or going over bumbs etc, it never really level its self out.. 1st thing was i put smaller springs on the 4x4, straight away it handled better and and stay level to the ground, also i think it just looks much better. Then i built the truck, using the on line instructions, but changed a few things on the way.... hope you like Smaller springs... drives the same, if anything it drives better as its not as top heavy anymore.

This build is epic, love the idea.... im looking forward to see it finished.

very nice mate

Good build mate..

This is my 1st thred, so hello everyone I treated my self to 8297 for xmas lol After building the main offroader, didnt really like the look, so i built it into the buggy.. which i think looks epic But it lacking one thing... remote control So i took parts from my 9398 4x4 crawler and converted my 8297 to remote.... much much better and more fun to drive... even so its only rear wheel drive. Iv kept all standard options, i love the fact i can raise the roll cage body up or down... its the little things haha Hope you like my mods Dennis

Love this build mate... would pay money for how to build my own
