That looks really great, but I think I actually like the look of the stock truck tires better than the bruder tires. they just look meaner, can ya dig it?

Now all you need is a 1/16 scale Jonathon Scott or Simon King and some scale lions and cheetahs!

And in the one photo I see what looks like a cat hair on the tire. This pleases me immensely. I have the same thing going on at my house.

Experiences of the torque tuned motor?
It seems it will be good, but i wonder how long it would last as they are rated for 2-3V not 2s lip 7.4v.
Also see there is a torque tuned2 motor at half the price available in the UK also by Tamiya

yes scale big cat and or dog responsible for wayward hairs (constantly !!)

I thought the original wheels looked pretty good too if not a bit monster trucky and there was no room to turn much.
Im on the hunt for something more appropriate on the tyre front but the interweb is awash with options !

Either need a lift kit. Blocks on the leafs or do what others do and cut the arch corners to make room for wheels

[AlwynTurner]

How about carefully cutting the wheel arches from the main body with a razor saw, cutting a small segment out of the wheel arch at the corners, and reattaching the wheel arch more opened out to accommodate the large tyres? It's a bit of a fiddly job but it's such a great model it would be worth it.

If the Rover is gonna stalk prey like that it might need a bit of help in low light situations.

Had mine on order since they released on interweb. Hoping i get in next week or 2. I got one of each, but may end up getting more.
When they gonna release the 6x6 then?
I wonder if they do a Jeep to go with the truck or other vehicles??
If they do a M113, i could stick it on the back the truck and make a Vietnam gun truck haha
