Smile 6x6 Dakar Race Truck (1:16 scale)

The end of last year I was recently laid up for back surgery and my friend, a model truck enthusiast, gave me an old R/C model truck to play with. The truck was as a MAN delivery truck made by Wedico. The truck was upgraded to 6 x 6 radio controlled drive, and covered in Dakar rally stickers And apparently heavily used!

After I was back on my feet I told my buddy I wanted to update the truck to look like a modern Dakar Rally truck. After a few conversations I was given the go ahead to rebuild the truck.

This is the first model truck I've ever built, but I do have a background in mechanical engineering and have built several custom motorcycles (then raced them on the track).
