This is not hard to recreate, given enough time and ability. I (used to) do alot of RCing. Got into semi-professional touring car racing (4WD's) for a long time. But, I grew up and the hobby got too expensive when I had to start paying for everything myself. When a chassis only starts out at $400, and you're just getting your first job.... you start considering other hobbies. Like cars. lol

But anyway, scale RC's are the best IMO. I still have some in a box. Some day I will get back into this. And boats/planes too. I miss those.

For you Wrangler guys, Tamiya once made a Wrangler to 1/10th (standard) scale. Perfect recreation. Look it up!

Very nice scale body. I like the one comment on the video though...

"aren't these like $3,000?

that's a little too much for a toy. considering I only paid $500 for my actual jeep cherokee... "
