I really wanted the new roll cage on the AWE Striker cause I really regretted selling this one:

The only thing stopping me was that stupid Arashikage logo on the front. It was such a pain to remove. It's like Hasbro picked a paint to ensure it stays on there.
Here's how it was after removing the logo.

Here's my first thought of covering the scuff marks

Thought it was too colorful and here's what I settled on:

Now I just need to mod the Rhino gun to fit on the top. Sadly, after looking at my RHINO, I realized the mount on the gun is blue. :(
Anyone have the DTC Rhino's machine gun extra?

Looks good. I don't see how they think this is a 4X4, though.

Seeing as though this:
Special Operations.Com (http://www.specialoperations.com/Equipment/Vehicles/default.html)
is all wheel drive, I don't see why the AWE Striker couldn't be too.

That's not all wheel drive. It's got a VW based king-pin front axle. I've seen some 4 wheel drive buggies, but the AWE Striker and Chenowth FAV are not. The 4x4 buggies are typically Jeep/Suzuki/truck based, not the VW/sandrail type.
4x4's are useful for climbing, not for going fast in a lightweight vehicle.

According to Jane's it is a 4X4:
Chenowth Advanced Light Strike Vehicle (ALSV) (United States) - Jane's Military Vehicles and Logistics (http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Military-Vehicles-and-Logistics/Chenowth-Advanced-Light-Strike-Vehicle-ALSV-United-States.html)

The original website you linked has an older picture of an FAV with a VW based front suspension. I had to google it to find the 4 wheel drive version which has an A-arm front suspension.

Really, now it's hookers and a serious debate over whether a model vehicle (and its 1:1 counterpart) is a 4X4 or not...
...anyway your modification to the 'Striker looks great as does the one you sold...
