1/24 scale Radio Control 4x4 pickups

[Brian Austin]

A nearby hobby shop stocks these interesting little trucks.  I'm not sure how the front axle CV or universal joints work.

Looks like fun!

 

The chassis is rather tempting to put under an AMT or Monogram kit body.

The Axials are listed as 1/24, though they are closer to 1/20, so the Lindberg/AMT/MPC 1/20 trucks and vans are a much closer fit than the 1/24-1/25 kits from everyone else unless you want to build a truggy or trail rig.  This past spring I built one of the Deadbolts with a 3D Printed truggy kit that included a Suzuki Samurai/Jimny styled hood and grill.

Monogram Ramcharger build.  It would appear this particular R/C chassis won't allow for a full kit interior.  Quite a bit of the interior tub had to be cut away to clear the chassis and electronics.

As much as I would like to have some of these remote-controlled models, they are a little beyond my budget. I have been impressed by some of the optional models I have seen lately at the model shop. Besides the great looking lowered C-10's they have some Camaros and Challengers as well.

What David says. Nice, but beyond my budget.

The guy in the video above got his R/C truck for less than $100.  IIRC I saw them at my local shop for somewhere around $120 or so.  That's a lot better than what larger scale R/C trucks go for.  Many HO scale locomotives go for more money than these little trucks.  ?
