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$ )
cc-01%20chassis.jpg


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)

:rolleyes:

Thats neat. What kind of mph are you looking for? I,d hate to really have fun with it because it is a "one off"

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

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

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

http://www.carsdirect.com/2001/ford/expedition/colors.

keep up the good work. the rc expy is looking good
