description  Almost finished the Model after alot of hardwork. Needs a couple of Bowler stickers the interior sorting out and a front and rear skidplate. The chassis is a TB-01 with locked rear diff and AW grease in the front diff. Running slightly widened axles using Blackfoot rear axles, which fill the arches out nicely and gives it a bit more stability. Just running a dirt tuned at the moment and its got a nice turn of speed, it could do with a little more tho. Going to move the body mount r-clips to the other side of the bumper as it allowed it too hang up. Oh and the tires need glueing on!. Oh and the registration is taken from my V8 Series 2a Land Rover trialer that has been scrapped . So I thought I would reuse the reg on my Bowler . All comments welcome

Hi Justin, I originally used Tamiya Touraeg wheels and tyres. But they didnt offer much grip. I have since fitted Fastrax 90mm 1.9 scale wheels and tyres. I tried some 96mm but they where to big and rubbed the arches. And I didnt want to destroy the arches.

Hi, I'm currently setting one of these shells up on a TL-01. What wheels & tyres are you using if you don't mind me asking? I've been thinking about using Ansmann 96mm crawler wheels and tyres but I'm not sure. Cheers.

I've seen this in the flesh and it looks, and runs, better than anything I've seen in a while. Awesome scale modelling dude!!!

I like it. Looks completely different. And fast too. Some more decals wouls make it even more racy. Do you have a chassis pic? Wonder how the tires fit on a TB-01.
