Well I found my old Desert Fox with some broken parts (wheels included), so I decided to convert it into a Cobra Fox Vehicle (Whatever that means).
And said it loud in here, there is no turning back. This is the starting point. |

Paint it Blue/Red or Black/red and give it a missile launcher like the Stinger. Or Python Patrol scheme it if you like that style. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Edit: Looks like your short a wheel or two. Maybe you can make it a half track like the snow cat. Put two wheels upfront, threads at the back, and attach the other 2 wheels to the back or side as spares. Last edited by sisco; 01-06-2023 at 12:27 PM.. |

Looking at that chassis, it would work great as a Dreadnok ride.

For the wheels I will use some playmobil tyres, which are slightly smaller but rubber ones which I think in can work. Second option is some caterpillar (is that the right english word?) for the back 4 wheels. You are totally right, but having the Thunder machine I want to go in another direction. One thing I notice about the chasis is that Retro Cobra Commander have some problems fitting in. Legs are to wide open and when sitted are a little fit force. I might need to do something with that... |

Sounds like an interesting project. It can be an equivalent to the Cobra Stun - a fast recon vehicle.

It happens that the two pins that hold the front axis were broken, so I designed something for a 3D printer. This is my first attemp to try to print something and I found out that the way of designing is a little bit different.
Nevertheless Im happy with the result altough I might need a v2 if the axis moves up. Next part to be designed completely: The turret (as mine is missing) |

The construction of the turret is in progress.
Here I printed the bottom part which for printer limitations (or because I dont have the knowledge) I had to split it in two parts for a correct 3D Print. The upper part broke, so I?ll need to make some changes... At least the bottom part fits well and rotates as expected |

Almost finished with the Cobra Fox.
For being my first custom Im quite happy about it. Im glad that the vehicle will have a second childhood and will roll again, this time in the correct team.😜 |

Looks great. Always good to see broken vehicles get a second life.
