Sand Rat Build (Macnum Conversion)

[kaylon]

Thought you chaps might like to see this directly in this forum...hope you Enjoy it.

The Sand Rat is a Macnum Conversion, will be splash/waterproof and hopefully have an almost caricature look and feel of a sand scorcher, especially with the massive oversized tyres I will using on the rear.

I'm not doing anything too fancy with this as it's my first build report.

For the major parts links are included to where I purchased them.

Basics

Ansmann Macnum: £45
HPI Black 2.2 Truck Wheels: £14
Rear Tyres £16
Bearing Set: £10
Baja Body Shell: £25
Paint: £10

Additional Hop-Ups

Royal Flash Shocks: £9
Traxxas Electrics Box: £8


Total: £137 ($205)

Still waiting for the shell.

Here we go...the Basic car build report.







































The Body shell should arrive soon, that will be the focus of my next update, hope you like the build so far.

Great build thread, very informative.
Are those ansmann tools?
Are they worth it?
