RC4WD Heavy Chevy
From the outset Jeffery wanted his project to look like a proper ‘80s-era big Chevy truck and he worked on it for a year to bring it about. The fundamentals are RC4WD’s long-wheelbase chassis and Chevy K10 cab with a mix of Traxxas and other electronics. The only 3D-printed piece is the big block Chevy […]

Klean K5
Pedar’s Blazer started out as an Axial Dingo years ago, but almost nothing but the frame rails remain. Power comes from an RC4WD 35T motor controlled by an Axial AE2 and powered by a Turnigy 3S Lipo.

Custom Land Rover D90 Van
One look at Jeremy’s custom conversion and you wouldn’t be faulted for assuming that Land Rover must have built a cab-over-engine version of the Defender 90 but it never did. This vehicle is loosely based on a concept for a D90-based camper van toyed with by German Land Rover specialist Matzker, but Jeremy took it […]
