012 - First outside photo

First pic outside today, only a shot near home and not a trail test. There is a lot to do to gain the truck I want, the first things I tought watching is: "tires too tall" and "too much rim and too less tire".

011 - Graande King, almost finished

This is my CC-01 based project. Born as a simple body swap project it is going to be a scaler. At the time, in addition to the Nissan body, I have installed some GPM upgrades for the steering linkages and for the rear suspensions, I removed the front "brick" and some others little adjustements.
For the future I'm going to buy four new RC4WD wheels for a better scale looking, I will build new bumpers and rock sliders and nothing more. It will be only a stock looking project, nothing extreme or excessive.

010 - New old project - Graaande King

This project is dedicated to the 4x4 truck that I consider an icon, it's started when I've bought My Tamiya CC-01. I immediately started to look for a Nissan body to substitute the original one (Mitsubishi) and I found it on E-Bay, it's a TBG Nissan King Cab lexan body.
Unfortunately  I was working on another project and Tamiya decide to release a lot of interesting models and this project has waited for a long time on the shelf.
Now I start to work on it and first I modify the body bracket with some pvc hand made spacers.
The next step will be about the suspensions and, of course, about the body.
Stay tuned, I'm working daily on this truck.

Off topic: I noticed the date and the hour are wrong on my pics, it's due to the fact that I bought my camera in Kyoto a year ago and I haven't never change the time zone.
