[GAINMOB]

is this a business or just hobby...how much to make one of these?

 

[-Kage-]

Its my hobby ... very time-consuming and money too (for me and in my country) in the USA are better prices of parts.

For example:

Original tamiya cc-01 chassis with original bad electronic ( 229$ )

X-Trail chassis ( 45$ )

4× Better Tires ( 57$ )
4× wheels ( 50$ )

Body ( old RC toy, dont know where buy next ) ( 35$ )

And many other parts ... and many many many work time ..
Approximate price 420$ (selfmade)

people make custom cars with price tags around 1700$ (time=money)

BTW: when i find other Ford Expedition body ( RC toy ), someone would buy it ? Meybe i can rebuild it on tamiya chassis ... its all about agreement and money

the toy is replica of: Ford Expedition Himalaya

thats nice. heres a little fact. the 1st one of those versions of expeditions to be built was for the SEMA show. and it was in hawaii. cause one time i was there and looking at craiglist over there and it was for sale. kinda interesting. it was also blue. then a company bought like 2 of them and made an off road adventure company. thats that white one you see.

since your english is kind of limited you can try a website to translate

or copy and paste text from this site to translate to czech

http://www.stars21.com/translator/english_to_czech.html.

your rc is looking good. not sure about the blue color on the toyota.
if you want to make it look like a real expedition you can try the colors that came on them. here is a link to the colors available in 2001

Make it a legit scale model and paint it a factory color...perhaps white and gray...
