Michal, that video is priceless. That's the first time I've seen a good video that shows exactly how someone RCed a Danbury Mint Jeep. I must have 10 of those things, and at least three of them got enough damage during shipping to make them good candidates for RC. I also have a Losi 1/24 crawler but I've kind of been saving that for the Tamiya 1/16 DAK kubelwagen kit that's been hiding on the Shelf laughing at me because I still haven't built it. Ha, I said kubelwagen and my phone typed Google Volume. It's always good to start the day with a laugh.

But I think I'll still pick up this kit, just to see if I can combine any of the lightweight plastic parts with the metal parts of the Danbury Mint Jeep. The detail on the Danbury Mint Jeep is just excellent, so I don't think I'll need to replace any parts for that reason, but for their size they're pretty heavy so if I can maybe use the plastic body or something to save weight that might be something to look into. What do you guys think?
