4 Door Hi-Lux Build on an SCX10

By Bender on December 14, 2009

Mike Lohmann is one of the top scale R/C builders on RCCrawler.com. He has built numerous scale rigs over the years that would fool most people into thinking it is the real thing. Mike has decided to share his latest build with us here on Axial’s Blog.
