Re: Series 3 / Rangerover Hybrid for sale
I'm going to add my 2c in here from someone who has built EXACTLY one of these.
You will not beat this truck for FUN, the torque of the 3.5 is awesome, the power to weight ratio is also awesome and they go everywhere. Mine is running everything standard ie engine(3.5v8) and suspension(RR) on 32" tyres and it got 4th,5th in two trials out of 24 vehicles!! People that have been in it will agree that these hybrids are very very capable! with one locked diff it can outclimb most trucks/buggies as proved at the mayfield trial (only vehicle out of 36 vehicles to climb a hazard and TWICE to prove it wasnt a fluke!) which includes my twin locked surf. Whats more to get this in a nearly finished state is perfect, it took me two years to get mine going from standard series 3 to semi-finished and competing. Mine is so much fun I will never sell it
Just my 2c. whoever gets this i salute your choice!

Almost right Mike. This one has new rings etc. I doubt that your old 3.5 has any rings left in it




Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!
