Default 1/12 M983, anyone?

China is pumping out the military RCs this year. Here's another attempt that's a little more costly.

Interesting for sure, but that’s serious money. I think I’d rather invest in a better chassis at that price point.

Cross R/C? Looks very similar to the two Cross 8 wheelers.

Nah, these are made by HG Model. The same company that came out with the Tamiya Bruiser clone.

Have this on thew way and the hummer on the workbench. They are pretty good quality but need to be made mine. I have to figure out a way to regear them for lower top and much more torque, the hummer is a little too much like the real thing, and I plant to use the P801 to drag a fairly hefty trailer full f other vehicles to my cralw spots.

Any tips or ideas?

Shortly after my last post the truck kit and trailer kit came in. I still need to do some weathering and the detail items. But I think she looks good in green and has the working crane.

I opted to lock the rear differentials, and disable the shift servo changing it's function to operating the 5th wheel clamp. The truck is locked in low gear.
