Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2008R/C semi's?
hello, Are there any companies making r/c semi trucks around 1/18~1/24 scale? I know tamiya makes them in 1/14 scale and they're very expensive (tractor+trailer and electronics=$800!!) I've seen some at the toy store but they didn't have propo steering and wasn't very realistic. Thanks, Nick > hello, > > Are there any companies making r/c semi trucks around 1/18~1/24 scale? > I know tamiya makes them in 1/14 scale and they're very expensive > (tractor+trailer and electronics=$800!!)

Mostly metal construction. Very expensive. Got a catalogue from them once.

Got a catalogue from them once. I did a google search and i couldn't find it :( The name of the company from Germany is Wedico, and the local dealer is Precision models. 1/15 scale. Check out www.Gardentrucking.com. I have 14 Tamiya Semi's and 9 trailers, I have most of them posted on Tamiyaclub.com.

I saw it at one of the Vegas hobby shows and it was really impressive.

I saw it at one of the >Vegas hobby shows and it was really impressive. Yeah its real nice. I really wish they'd make a smaller/cheaper version of it. Go to the www.diecast-trucks.net website. They have 1/32 scale R/ semi Trucks as well as box trucks and dump trucks. They look prett neat and I ordered a peterbilt R/C dump truck myself. Haven't received it yet but will post a revie after I test it out. R/C_gu -- R/C_gu all I can say is, WOW! www.sfrchobbies.com i would like to get a 1/14 tamiya transport unfortunatly the cost is so high is there a way a person can get one a cheap way? i've been looking at them for years,even looking at ebay i don't mind scavenging parts here and there to get my truck, it's jus the cost exceeds my income and it seems like they're aimed at buyer with large incomes anyone have ideas? glen -- deraile >Re: R/C semi's? >Group: rec.models.rc.land Date: Wed, Mar 12, 2008, 9:30am From: derailed.365z4n@rcgroups.com >(derailed) >i would like to get a 1/14 tamiya transport unfortunatly [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >glenn >-- mow lawns, pick-up cans, pape route > i would like to get a 1/14 tamiya transport > unfortunatly the cost is so high [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > glenn That's a tough one, as they all seem to be wildly overpriced, for reasons that I personally don't see. I'm really not sure how they justify $300+ for a TRAILER. . I would bet one could but a semi truck/trailer model, and fit an electric system in it for much less than what you pay for one, , that is if you know how to do such a thing. |
