Yep looks like a GAZ66.

My thought exactly. 14cm wide is 5.5". Narrowing down the search for potential axles. Anyone else have an idea?

From my notes:
Losi MiniRC/SlickRock - 140mm/5.51"
Redcat Everest 16 - 5.25"/133mm

[Ty@Tekin]

Those were what I was thinking also and the ECX Temper. I've got one here. Hopefully the stock axles aren't too terrible, they look decent but I'm betting it's all plastic internals and bushings.

[Brake Weight]

I don't have the Temper measurements. But the ECX Barrage is 159mm/6.25".

[Ty@Tekin]

Probably the same as the Temper then, but at least the Barrage has lockouts on the rear. Too wide...

I ordered off of ebay the other day. Just checked the bangoo and they shifted the restock date to 10/1. Ebay store still has some in stock

The new cab is IFA, union of companies for vehicle construction in the former East Germany.

Just got a ship notice from Banggood.


Edit: just looked and the shipping has been changed from free to nearly $17. Add that to the cost of $43 and now this is not a good buy anymore. Makes me wonder if the fleaBay vendor is related.

That looks close-ish but the GAZ looks closer. Grille isn't quite the same but look at the lower cab corners, fender shape and door lines. Also the windshield shape is different and the IFA doesn't have the small a-pillar window. The IFA is too rounded.

I haven't gotten a notice yet, but I see the restock fee is now October 1st. Hopefully I made it in to the first batch.

I got my notice that mine has shipped also.

[Brake Weight]

I was going to get several of these in their various models. Not at the new price I'm not.

Lol. I've got the one at $35 shipped already. It's the other model and any more models that will wait for a sale or either it'll have to be worth it in stock form.

I don't know about that. Every time I hit the "Snooze" button in the morning I feel like I'm winning!

Yes, you are right its actually GAZ, known as "Vietnamka" in my country. Strange thing, last night the cheapest shipping to me was 22$, now is 2.55$ again.

[Ty@Tekin]

I missed the boat on the first batch, got a notice saying restock is the 30th....Dang!

I spent nearly an hour skimming through GearBest and Ali looking for these but never saw them.
