The wheels are from a GI Joe Sand Rail that I modified to accept the Tamiya Hubs. They are of a pretty high quality and work well.

Super supra with ta-03rs chassis
Franklin

Thanks! Body is from a Jada toys RC car. They make an RX-8 and Celica as well, although the Celica is not a great fit (I tried). You can get them at Tower Hobbies (.com) or Toys R Us. The Supra is probably a little smaller than 1/10th but fits the TA03-RS wheel base perfectly. The cool thing about the Jada product-it has detailed rotors that can be used as well.

The driver is a figure from the Hoodz line of characters from Mezco. I think he's called Fat Cap. I used just the head only, WW driver body, gloved hands from another figure.

Engine was from the GI Joe Sand Rail that Hasbro made a few years back. It's 1/6th scale so the engine had to be sectioned in both directions and fudged a little to make it more in scale. I bought a few basket cases off eBay. Exhaust is actually bent brass rod with scratch built stack. I wired it up as well, added belts and pulleys.

I have been on RCCrawler.com building another Bronco. I guess I could post it here-it does have TLT axles but that's about it.
