the range rover was always originally a vehicle commonly used in off-road competition
but the new range rover hasn't been used like its predecessors so what would a range rover sport look like as a lifted comp rig?
well I am gonna make a range rover comp rig using a matchbox range rover sport

Should be a fun build! I've turned a few regular cars into off-roaders in the past and looking forward to seeing this one completed!

put the wheels on her and thought i would show you how i do wheel swaps
first get a pin that goes through the axle hole in the wheels (this can be a salvaged axle)

step one by gustovski, on Flickr
next push the pin through the wheel from the side you want to be on the outside all the way.

step two by gustovski, on Flickr
then push the pin through the axle tube or the original axle slots and trim the axle so only about a quarter inch is coming out the end of the axle tube/slot
Posted Image
step three by gustovski, on Flickr
then very care fully place the teeny tiniest amount of glue down the hole of the other wheel and slide onto the pin being careful not to glue the pin the the tube/slot

thanks lots of work put into this one
i used a range rover because the classic range rover is very often used to build crazy off roaders in many countries and i wanted to do a modern one
one like this would probably not be built irl for a while but in like 10 years or so i think alot of these soft roaders will start to be made into crazy crawlers and dune jumpers
