It looks like the Tamiya clod buster body on a newer on road frame.

BigBlocksRule · 09-21-2010, 07:49 AM

Since I can see all the way through the engine compartment, I think I'll call it an RC.

*lakeroadster* · 09-21-2010, 08:40 AM

The name of the photo is "Custom_RC_Pickup_Truck".... and the photo is from "rccartips.com'

Prerunner1982 · 09-21-2010, 11:15 AM

yeah love it but i think the RTR stuff killed it for me every board got full of the kits and not many build there bodyes from scratch like before

irishman999 · 09-21-2010, 01:32 PM

I had no idea those were that realistic. I just sold my 1/8th scale nitro buggy

The semi trucks look really neat.

Prerunner1982 · 09-30-2010, 05:53 PM

How about this one?

*scottsdaleowner75* · 09-30-2010, 05:58 PM

Tamiya still makes plenty of kits as well as alot of your more high end R/C makers. I still fondly rememner the image of a tamiya bruiser and being instantly in love.

Not too many guys build completely from scratch because it's a TON of work, and most people don't like to see all their work get scratched and broken on the rocks. But it's reasonably easy to make a crew cab squarebody, a blazer, a suburban, etc. You just need a couple of Clodbuster bodies, some styrene sheet, some Tenax glue, and a lot of patience. Dunno if I've ever seen a dually Chevy, but I've seen a few dually Fords.

Here are some examples:

Here is a truck that I got mid way through building but went another route with 1/24 scale:

YouTube - 80's crew cab dually micro...

mrnize · 09-30-2010, 08:03 PM

There is so much money into these scale RC's its really insane. For some of the builds that people get into, they can dam near get them selves a real rig :X

I was close to gettin into it but decided the real thing is better to spend the money on lol.

There awesome though.

motornut · 09-30-2010, 08:04 PM

wow those are sure detailed for rc's

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-30-2010, 08:40 PM

Wow! These things are sweet! I'm afraid to start looking into these things.

I might get hooked.

87GMCChris · 10-01-2010, 12:44 AM

87GMCChris · 10-01-2010, 01:01 AM

Sorry for the double post... but here are acouple of mine.
1 Axial Crawler with a 85 Blaze Body
2 VTA camaro in orange and stock graphics.
3 Same VTA with the race body i made up.

Also have a 85 pickup body for the vta. Sorry no pics of that one.

And i would like to add, that my crawler is whats deemed as a "competetion crawler". More or less for competing, rather than scale. Although it is to scale. Just not SUPER detailed. And also a cheaper way to go.
