what colour are you gonna paint the shell?

I was going to get a pro to paint it but...... My plan is for a red body the top will be painted black on the outside. I will paint the bumpers black on the outside and silver on the inside so when I hit something it will look like bare metal.
 
Damed Suzukis ;)

I must say from what I've seen they don't do bad for a 4x4 biscuit tin made of monkey-metal. A Couple of the guys who run the UK comps in our region have them and they are smart little things. Still not as good as a Defender though ;)

It's looking good so far Chip. Nice idea using a Losi MRC for it, I plan on doing that with the Freelander one day.
 
Here in the states I have seen them with a GM 4.3 V6 and Toyota axles on 37 inch tires and they are very hard to beat them on the rocks.
 
nice mall crawler.....burn

lol burn back....lol....it does look really good man, i really like the susukis and trackers in 1:1 form so this is just great.
 
i wish you guys wouldnt encourage him!!! he makes all of our rigs look like crap!!!
 
Except mine. I love my Defender :p:

I love watching Chip's builds take shape. I showed a few of them to a couple of guys on another forum once and they damn near passed out ;) His eye for detail and ability to get things looking real makes his builds look awesome :D
 
ok ok, his secret is, sorry chip, he pays me to make them all.......lol or something like that.
 
i can't see how you can pick out a favorite chip with having done like 5 dozen SICK rigs.
 
Damn Chip,Do you have tools glued to your hands? Seems your always building something! LOL!

Nice start,can't wait to see the completed rig!
