Wow, the storage does make it look much better. I guess I forgot they do a set for the jeeps.

This one doesn't come from a dedicated set, but from the stowage mix I have ;)

So a few months ago I bought one of these Jeeps from Richard Johnson here in the US as he found them from some other vendor (not RCTank.de) and brought a dozen or so into the country. At the time I couldn't find a site that was selling them. These little Jeeps are almost all metal. They have a metal frame and body so they have some heft to them. I ran it out at our local battlefield area and it ran great. Everyone asked me where I got it. Well now, everyone can have one except those that think it's not detailed enough. :D

No ding on RCTank.de, but Banggood has this jeep a lot cheaper with free shipping to the US:

The only issue I really see is that the windshield sits a little too vertical. I've been scared to try and bend the metal arms as I don't want to break it. Running it with the windshield down kinda solves that issue though. I put one of my Torro M16 half-track drivers in it.

You can thank me for separating you from your money later... :haha: It's not perfect, but now being cheaper it might be a good place to start a customization.
