I love it; it looks great! It's incredible how you can bring Tamiya kits to the next level.

[@RTLRC]

@@janmacku4633 Thank you, my wife would say I have far too much time on my hands. 👍

[@crazyhorses73]

So glad I came across your channel. Absolutely love what you've achieved. I have an original Sand Scorcher ( (bought by my Dad over 40 years ago) and I just sent my 88 year old Dad a link to the BBX. Am very keen to get more details on the other mods you've made and any measurements for the cuts etc. I'm 51 and feeling very inspired to build one for my 10 year old boy to help keep me young :) Great job! Than you.

[@RTLRC]

@@crazyhorses73 Thanks so much for kind words and happy to share info with you. I will get the run vid out this weekend now recovered from Flu. Your Dad will enjoy seeing it rip round. 👍

I find custom builds much more interesting... Subscribed for more!

[@RTLRC]

@@-Dash- Wow, thank you my problem is too many ideas at the moment and lead time in developing and sourcing parts. Please keep watching and enjoying 👍

[@webreakforsquirrel4201]

Glad you went with the original wheel set. It really makes the look so much more authentic. Great build.

[@RTLRC]

Hey, thanks. I was thinking of releasing the ‘other’ version I had in mind as it was so close which one I went with. Maybe find interesting and balance of comments??? 😎

[@ahhobby2527]

Absolutely great work! Super top 👍🏻👍🏻😍 I have a BBX and an MF-01X Rally Beetle. Now I’m in dilemma 😅 Looking forward to the running video, and please post more content on this. Cheers.

@@ahhobby2527 Ha 😂 buy another shell, they are relatively cheap as body shells go. 👍

Hello RTLRC, I will sat that you really did a exceptional job on that conversion. I just picked up the BBX, watching you do this body conversion, I am going to pick up another one, if you don't mind me taking inspiration from your build. Take care.

[@RTLRC]

[@JohnAdam-t7p]

Don’t know how you popped up but I’m glad you did. I don’t know why but I’ve always hated the look of the BBX. Now having seen yours… wow. What a lovely bit of kit. Looks absolutely amazing with the new shell on but for some reason the love hit me when the original shell came off and it was just a skellied out space frame. Completely flipped my previous thoughts. I’ve now subscribed to your channel so thank you very much for some great mature content. No screaming in my face making my ears bleed, smashing everything to bits at the skate park and not saying BOOM every 8 seconds. In fact I’m gonna head to his channel now and unsubscribe cause unless I was 7 years old his content is p*ss poor and I end up with a headache 🤕 Sorry, be right back. 2 secs ✌🏼

[@RTLRC]

@JohnAdam-t7p 😂😂 welcome, you are a legend and I promise to stay true to what/how I do it. 🙏

[@AsurasWrath164]

Awesome build!Turned out spectacular! May I ask which wheels you did use?

[@RTLRC]

Hello and thanks for getting in touch. They are stock Tamiya wheels from the Mitsubishi Pajero kit. 😎

[@AsurasWrath164]

@RTLRC thx for taking the time to respond! Im really enjoying your channel so far. Your experience in static model building really shines through. 👌

[@JevonDismuke]

Is the body 1/10 scale, I’m trying to change the body on my gorgon to a Baja beetle

[@JohnAdam-t7p]

Aaaaarrrrr. That feels better. Just unsubskwibed and no, that’s not a typo. 👍🏼

[@RTLRC]

@JohnAdam-t7p 😂 every day is Christmas Day
