Borneo escapade

Hi all,

I have been spending a month in Kuching, Sarawak on the island of Borneo, and possibilities for RC crawlers are almost limitless.

Here are some preview pictures... videos will be posted when I'm back to Singapore next week.

This is a first site, just by the road side after Matang.

Nice mud play....

Typical Borneo sandy mud... once you're in, only the winch can take you out!

Bonus pics: The little truck beside the real size one, my Land Cruiser MKII. Unfortunately the engine needs some repair/tuning, I'll do it when I really stay in Kuching.
