This truck has a long history with me. Back in January 2008 i built it as a regular Tamiya 4x2. Then it was converted to a crawler; first 6x6, then 4x4. Late 2008 it was sold, but I missed it and bought it back just a few months later :o
Since then it has been built and rebuilt several times before I finally found a setup I like:
Crawler 6x6
