Yes, and they have improved what you can do with it now. It was a doddle.

Wow. That's incredible, Wibbs. I can't wait to get my CR10. I'm setting up a good sturdy stainless steel table to put it on, and watching tutorials and stuff. I'll have to check out CURA.
Really beautiful work, but she's just screamin' for red pin-stripes!!

More recent than that, it is loosely based on the Exploration vehicle in the movie The Martian.

Actually got to run this one today whilst visiting Simon at Greens Models, it's all weathered up with genuine Martian dust. We went crawling in the woods but my phone camera ran out of memory. It runs very nicely though I have ordered a much faster and more powerful steering servo. The TRX4 Landrover at the end is one of Simon's many (many) rc models, and is tricked up complete with a Das Mikro sound board which was louder than I thought possible. I bought one while I was there....

Seeing as rock crawlers have a habit of rolling over and hitting rocks, I decided to keep the windows solid, and do them matt black. The shell is ultra strong, and more by luck than design it clears the wheels on full lock, compressed suspension etc. It's very slightly top heavy, but it scampers up inclines no bother. I am now trawling Thingiverse for accessories to print for the Landrover....

What wheels are you running? Real bead locks? If so I have a way for you to add almost 85gr to EACH wheel! My TRX4 Defender which is a very top heavy truck no longer top heavy. All sorts of tricks to drop the center of gravity on your truck. Wish you had gotten a TRX4 cause I'd be able to help you with all sorts of goodies! Heck let me know if you want and 3 piece bead lock wheels I got some I haven't even opened up yet.
