Tug Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 What's behind the cab? Scale genny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninetiesbeard Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Three thousand, six hundred and ninety nine dollars, ninety nine cents. What the actual? for an Rc truck? I always comment on these mental trucks when they release them on instagram, usually something snarky. This time i asked "whats the target market?" and they liked my comment lol. A joke, very cool trucks but the price is off the chain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 You could just add a driven front axle to a Tamiya Mercedes - I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the cab is the additional equipment for a heavy haulage spec truck including additional fuel tank, air tanks, hydraulic tank, additional radiator and cooling package, winches and spare wheel carriers.

Plus, even some of the Tamiya trucks that come in kit form are close to 1000 GBP once you've bought all the electronics for them and they are certainly not anything like the spec of these JDM trucks.

Would you not just buy a lesu at that point? Also you could say that about anything, that rc truck is a bargain compared the real thing, right? 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends upon exactly what type of truck you want. A lot of buyers are actually haulage companies who have the real full size vehicles and they want a model for their boardroom.
