Sand Rat Build (Macnum Conversion)
 

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.

Ansmann Macnum: £45
HPI Black 2.2 Truck Wheels: £14

Still waiting for the shell.
