Hello guys I've been working on improving my panda hobby tetra. I really like the truck but there are a few things that bothered me out of the box.


The first was the front bumper, which was thrown away immediately :mrgreen:

The second was the wheels and tires, they feel fine but they don't look very good in my opinion. So I printed up some narrow offset wheels and threw on some atlas 6x6 tires.

You can also see the badges I'm working on.


Next up will be the dorky headlights and a better grill treatment. Stay tuned!
 
Thanks guys! Yes I'm 3d printing all of these parts including the logos. At this scale they are extremely fragile though and I keep breaking them :roll:


As promised I made a grill cover for it, and some headlight buckets. Need another round of revision on the lights. I think they are too small now but let me know what you guys think.

I think I'm going to make a bumper for it and call it done :mrgreen:
 
I agree, the light buckets look like a fitting size for the scale to me. I think any bigger would look odd.
 
Ya, lights look great. Personally I would trim off the fenders, give it a more aggressive look, but I can see you are going for more original and scale. Good job!
