[@user-cm6zw3fb3m]

What paint did you use when you wiped the mn82 with a towel? Is it a tamiya weathering paint? It makes the car more detailed and realistic

[@SouthernRCGarage]

I used Streaking Rust Effects from Ammo. It does make quite a difference and gives a great result. www.migjimenez.com/en/ammo-paints/181-streaking-rust-effects-amig-1204.html

[@bergi1239]

Wow great looking toyota! Really love that blue color😊 Could you tell me what tires used to upgrade?

[@SouthernRCGarage]

Thank you. I used DJ Crawler Super Large Soft Sticky 1.0 Crawler Tires 68 * 26mm that I ordered from Amazon. Have not tried them out yet, but will probably test them over the coming weekend. They are not a perfect fit, but with the light truck it seems they will work. And I think they look good. Here is the link: a.co/d/9O8BjXV

I painted mine too and don’t think I will again. It was fun but for the shelf and to brag to people. I hardly use the truck now and it’s a shelf queen. I would never take it out because my 10 scale out perform any day. Great was to kill time and feel good no doubt

[@SouthernRCGarage]

I always prefer 1/10 scale as well. Much more capable. I still run the mn82 as well though. With the weathered paint job, scratches will probably improve the look. 😁. 👍👍🕹️🕹️

[@WerrieCornelius-or6op]

Taking a shot in the dark here but the acsent is purely South African? If so then i know i will totaly get my MN cruiser then

[@SouthernRCGarage]

Hello friend. You are correct. I ordered mine at a shop in Natal I think, but you can also order from rc.six33.online/product/mn82-toyota-land-cruiser-1-12-lc79-rock-crawler-rtr/ . I have ordered from rc.six33 twice. Excellent fast service and very good communication. 👍

[@WerrieCornelius-or6op]

@@SouthernRCGarage hahaha that is also where i got mine from but im bringing another one from the USA

[@zeffenciso598]
