Further Description/Back Story |
As a kid of the late 70's/early 80's, every time I see a VW Beetle I want it to be Herbie and every time I see a van, I want it to be the A-Team van. So, when I saw that Hobby Plus had released a builder's kit version of their CR18P Rock Van, I knew what I had to do! I think it turned out pretty nice! And with the 370 motor and transmission from RCAWD, this thing takes off like a bullet! It will do wheelies from a standing start and will catch air over a small root! What a fun little rock van! I think B.A. Baracus would be proud to drive this one! |
