Further Description/Back Story | I built the Dynahead crawler first, I loved the body, 4WS & 6×6 capability but thought it would be fun if it was faster. I bought a King Yellow Bus, sold the body and found a Dynahead body on eBay (the Dynahead body is impossible to get). It's amazing how different they are, but both great in their own way.
