Off Road, Post Apocalyptic R/C 1/16 Charger

[dge467]

I did this conversion using a 1/16 MPC Duke's Charger that I got at a flea market a long time ago as a built up. It was in rough shape but unpainted. I have been messing around with these cheap 1/16 remote control trucks for a while and thought it would be neat to mount the Charger body on one of these chassis. I picked up a truck on sale and did it. I also upgraded the steering with a servo, plus added a Horizon speed controller. The controller and receiver were upgraded as well. The battery mounts under the hood.The figures and weapons are from Wal Mart.The big guns are mounted on the roll bar. I rusted and dented the body before spraying on the white primer. I then masked off a stripe and shot it with Testor's Plum Crazy. The super charger is from the spares box. I was missing a taillight lens, so I grabbed one from a unbuilt kit and vacuformed one up.The front bumper is from a toy and was modified plus LED lights were added.
