    RC Series 1 build

    Seeing as I sold my Landy last year I thought I would make myself a little Series 1.

    Based on a Tamiya CR-01 Rock Crawler. I will post the build as I go along.

    Just cardboard at the moment but will be alloy like the real thing.

    I see that in the best of the original 80" tradition you're going to use a readily available surplus supply of alloy & recycle it to produce Pepsibright panels. If you cut it just right you might even have the correct curve for the front guards.

    I got this from somewhere on the web.

    Thought it might be of help for your dimensions - you can scale it to suit?

    I built one and looked fairly well preportioned.

    Look forward to the build

    Thanks for sending me the plans. I think I will be raiding the scrap bin at work next week for my panels.
