Very close looking to Land Rover forward control. Looks fantastic 👍

That cage is perfect and really tire in the body!

With your modeling skills, this is like bringing a gun to a knife fight. Josh doesn’t stand a chance.

Super keen on seeing how this comes together!

I swapped on an 1:20 AMT GMC Sonoma. Took a bit of work and I was going to keep the battery under the hood but I wanted the body to sit low. I used the original front bumper and bracket, cut down to fit in the model bumper slot and then 3D printed a bracket for the bed to score into so the body was removable without pins. Battery is velcroed to the bed at this time.

My word Matt. You never cease to amaze me. I’d love to see some content on how to chopped that body. You are great at what you do.

I'll definitely go over that. Maybe this coming Tuesday as some bonus content!

This is TOTALLY AWESOME! Honestly from the thumb nail it kinds looked like a Jeep FC. I love your creativity and imagination on these projects. I bought the same cage to make a Truggy version but now you have me looking at other options. 😁👍

Totally love it. King of Unimogish. I’d expect nothing less from you👍🏼👍🏼

Lovin these SCX24's. Got one about a year ago, now have 3 and only one is kinda stock lol. Good fun, very capable, easily take anywhere, little crawlers. Thanks for this build series, it's awesome to see what people can do with these trucks. Some are truly 🔥

I love the creativity! I’ll definitely be sticking around to see how this turns out. 👍✌️

Your artistry is only exceeded by your madness. I love it.

Absolute madlad! This is such a unique take and I’m so excited to see where this ends!

This will be the first build off that I have started watching as they are produced rather than binge watching previous years. I have a 3D printer now, so looking forward to see how you solve mounting the static model parts on the chassis. I will try to catch the live stream tonight.

Okay you hit it out of the park with this one. Such a cool idea and look for such a tiny build. As you have in the past you have awed me with your talent sir. good on ya

Thanks a bunch!

I also adapted the '92 Hilux but I left the chassis stock so I could go back to the Deadbolt body if I wanted. I installed the dashboard and driver's seat. But I had to trim the centre console and floor out to accomodate the battery. Looks great! Not sure about performance though, it's pretty top heavy. I may need BRASS!!!

The Land Rover 101 was a cab over. They were originally made for the military then sold onto the public once they stopped using them. Loving the build so far.

Dude your brain is awesome !!! That is gonna look bad ass when you’re done !!! Can’t wait to see the finished product !!!

After Josh's rant over the forward control Jeep body, I am extra excited about you making a COE Land Rover.

That scx 24 is looking awsome love the cabover.

This is absolutely amazing. Sir you’ve just so far ahead on Josh in this series. Good luck.

Love it, Cab over is brilliant, that looks like start to an epic camper rig.

This was a very cool video and I loved the idea that you went with modifying a 1:24 scale model kit to use on your project! I especially love that ECX Barrage Rear Cage you went with to finish it out!

That is so cool looking! I love the cab over mods. I have 2 70s GMC Sierra hard body trucks from Revell, and they are PERFECT for the SCX24. I had to trim out the engine compartment, but it works really well on this rig, and would highly recommend that hardbody to anyone looking for a good looking truck for their first SCX24 hardbody

That thing is gonna look sweet when done ,looking good now

That's going to look so good! Can't wait to see it finished.

Dude that’s so awesome! I love the look you’re going for I can totally see it!

The revell 79 chevy stepside fits the deadbolt short wheelbase pretty well and I managed a full interior. I did need to print a lot of custom parts tho. Still have paint and lights wiring left.

@@eduardsklyanin8541 whatever you say bud. They dont have different wheelbases. The deadbolt is short in the front but longer in the rear and vice versa. each rig will have the axles sit in the same position coming in at 133mm for all of the models. Look it up.

Dang Matt that's so goofy it's awesome! Can't wait to see it finished.

I’ll take two please! Lol. I love the “good old fashion thinking” you bring to these builds.

COE is an epic choice here. Ive been looking at different static models for a couple weeks now for my scx24, and most everytime I come back to the thought of printing my own body, then promptly remembering the eternity in blender it would take to make a forza game model printable. Then I go back to looking at static models and the cycle repeats itself. I really like the idea of a Pajero or Landcruiser body as there seem to be some good Hasegawa, Aeoshima, and Tamiya options there. Id love to build a Jimny too though...

What a cool idea MAtt. Really liking that Funky Landrover body.. :)

The Revell 1/24 Ramcharger body looks pretty good 👍 saw a build of one with the fenders majorly cut and the body mounted low, looked like a TTC truck!

What a cool odd duck truck. I think it’s a great overland oddity and I’m looking forward to seeing future videos. I am excited to work with styrene in the future.

Fun ideas, I like the shirt. Perhaps Scale Builders Guild and Berm Peak Express can do a build-off in 2022? I learned about Seth and his channels when he was injured and had to entertain himself, diving straight into scale crawlers, too compensate for the lack of all terrain bicycles. It's a great cross-over too, off-road cycling and rc cralwing, so interesting! In the mean time, I am very much looking forward to more 2021 SBG and Harley Designs build-off, so thank you as always.

I like it. Overlanding rover lander sounds like a new sticker. I’m working on my first scx24 not sure what I’m doing yet but hardbody is a definite.

I love this series. Lots of inspiration for me. Thank you!!!

That’s crazy I bought that same body a few months back. I decided to change my custom built c10 into a cabover, but then I saw the Land Rover kit and couldn’t resist. But a coe rover? That’s pretty awesome! Your microshark build is what got me into scx24’s and watching your channel.

Already looks really cool, going to be awesome when it's done.

Reminds me (a little) of the Canadian Military Pattern truck (CMP) used in WW2. Cool build man!!!

I picked up the cage as well...lol its held on by e6000 right now on my deadbolt...ordered the barrage body to try and make a mini trail honcho can't wait for the next video

I really like the static body on this build with the bed cage added there will not be another like it and I’m sure with your skills it’ll come out looking bad ass

Wow, I didn't even think of using a model kit for something like this! I'm sure it's been done before, but I am a huge fan of the Nissan Hardbody. Together with that cage, I think it would look killer!! Thanks for the ideas!

love the use of the 1:24th rover. I also used a 1:24th scale model (an f100 ford) onto my proline ambush, its a 1:25th scale crawler and it looks SO scale

Looks awesome already

You should put a bubble level in that little roof window.

101 forward control!!!! Now that’s cool!!!!!

This certainly was unexpected, now im really excited to see the outcome

i found a hard body for mine , its actually a smaller body , and it looks like a mud truck , the wheelbase was perfect , no mods at all ,and it has a full bed , and the hinge mechanism fitted perfectly , a couple of magnets and the body stays on perfect

Nice! Another budget build off

Love it Matt!

Love it! Looks very Cool!

So glad y’all are doin this series 👍 and it looks like you changed the light you weren’t happy with lol. But if josh vacuum forms a mini Lloyd body, he wins by default

That looks awesome!! 😍😍

I have a 1:20 AMT GMC Sonoma and that cage as well. Planning on doing a truggy at some point.

The 1/20 scale Toyota 4x4 model kit fits the deadbolt almost perfectly. I shortened the bed, cut and flared the fenders slightly, heated it up and shoved pieces of gravel and scraped it with rocks to give it realistic scale dents, scrapes and gouges, put some holes in it and painted it to have rust and fading paint, I even managed to get most of the interior in it (dashboard, steering wheel, seats) but had to cut a “tunnel” through the center of the dash and the seats to fit my battery and wires. And just for shits and giggles I got cocky with it and made a really small hood latch that when I pull it, the hood pops open. I was going to try to fit some sort of winch set up under the hood but not sure how I am going to achieve that with the limited space that I have so I may just make an engine bay for it and basically cut the motor in half. Oh and it’s got working headlights, tail lights and marker lights, and not the bright bluish white headlights that come with it, custom harness.

If anyone else put this forward as an idea I would say they were nuts but I think you got the skills to buy the bills to pull this off. Don't let that cutting blade get away on you now. 👍👍

Did not expect to have that body in my recommended that’s nice

That's really cool. When the scx24 came out I was really hoping they would stick to a true 1/24 scale. Think of all the bodies and mods that would have already existed, just waiting to be added. All well. You've got some mad skills!

Cool build. I’ve got a couple SCX24s, Wrangler for son, and the Betty(Barbara now, had to fix it) for me.

Love your videos, thank you.

I like the static model body conversions. But I'm old. I remember when models were $7. Now they're so expensive, I just can't spend all that, just to throw most of it away

Overlanding cabover landrover, say that 3 times fast!!! I like it, looks awesome.

Just so you know they make a double barrel kinetic shocks for the 24 scale crawlers, that expand s the flex dramatically. Keep up the great work love your videos. Thanks again

I've heard a long bed model fits the c10 scx24 very well. I will of course be taking the harder route with a short bed because my impatience haha

Gotta love a budget build 👍👍

I’d have made a double cab betty with that rear cage but that LR fc looks great 👍

I of course put the yoter 92 4x4 pickup from AMT of my first scx24. Doved the bed on it as a quick toss on. I have a Nissan hardbody in the cabinet I believe for the next attempt.

I mounted a Ford Ecoline van body onto my SCX24, It's top heavy and doesn't perform well, but it looks cool and makes me happy.

i think it is good choice and much better look for the tired old land rover style body

Looks great! Totally awesome body swap!

Man I love that truck it really looks cool I think I’ll try to thank you

I used a diecast ford 1/24. It was tricky getting it on but it works. I was going to go with a humvee body but when i went back to the store it was gone.

Awesome. Love it

After seeing that rear end for the ecx it really has me thinking about putting that on the C10 body

AMAZING. You must of done some staring at this one! That blade is the “antidremmel” Thanks.

I have a square body Chevy I'm workin on, its the orange snowplower static model, got it from hobby lobby, still figuring out how and what I'm gonna actually do with it, so short term did a quick strip and repaint of the original deadbolt body.

When/If you move on to wheels and tires, the Injora ones on Amazon are fantastic and very affordable. The tires that look like mini hyraxes perform great and the beadlocks assemble easily and look decent. Sub $30 for a set of 4 wheels and tires.

DANG!!! That is killer!!! It will be interesting to see what Hardly did!!!🤣🤣🤣

that leftover is just enough for some amazon wheel spacers...

Awesome idea, i like it

It sort of reminds me of a LR forward control 101 only the front is flat unlike this one that has a little poking out at the front. Looks great though.

Excellent body idea!

I dig the COE Rover. I've got the 1:20 Hilux you mentioned on a Proline Ambush chassis. It would've been much easier on the SCX24 but at least I've got leaf springs! My SCX24 is pretty much a micro comp rig, wouldn't dream of hindering the performance with a hard body.

That looks good Matt!

Looks like one of those Polar Bear watching Tundra Buggy things.

In the 60s there was fire engine called the Carmichael redwing FT6 and it very much resembled the body design.

I drilled some holes in a busted New Bright Camaro and put it on my SG1802 (or whatever the Banggood SCX clone is called) and it looks pretty sick.

I didn't get into the SCX24 when it came out and I lost my RC squad when I moved just before COVID so I didn't get into a new group after I moved. I am working on finishing a hard body for me Enduro builder kit.

Nice idea, it looks great! A little like land rover's 101 forward control only less ugly :P The 101 had a PTO shaft at the rear that could drive the wheels of a towed trailer making a very capable off road vehicle indeed.

Currently on my bench... 18th scale (Toy RC) buggy width-chopped frame to 1:24th on FTX mini 3.0. The USA1 (de-monster trucked to a Silverado and shortened) on the FTX 2.0. Aaand finally, (messy bench), the 2017 snap Raptor on the SG1802 (55 LEDs!)... Meh, not finally, there's an Orlandoo/WellyRC/diecast and a K989/AMC Challenger there too, lol.

So neat 🔥
