I would take a guess and say no since they are all on ebay from different people.

ive picked these up at yard sale finds &goodwill stores, thinking itll bring good money on ebay, people wont buy these r.c. trucks, they wont pay nothing for them, it cost more than its worth to try &sell some of the stuff.

you just have to know what your buying in order to make money on ebay. estate/eviction sales are my favorite! i got 2 big boxes for $5 each.. they had 1883 Rodger "something" silver in it... full tea sets and goblets and such... lets just say i will be making my money back... and then some.

and no... none of those are mine.. well , the last hummer is now... just won it. im hoping it is as big as i think it is.. lookin to 1.9 it.

this is my mitsubishi pajero evolution body from a nikko, its a bit small but reduced 1.9's to 1.5's are perfect and a tamiya cooper has just the right width to fit and there and still look good (i hope)


lolthese are still available but are on cheap (not saying that nikko aint cheap lol) chinese things and are green with over sized tyres etc

here is my recent find in walmart

1:10th scale Special edition Dale Earnhardt Silverado "intimidator" SS RC truck. haha

(beat up box and all!) Cant beat that and i think that is why it was onsale only 30$!! All was good inside though

only one on the shelf, and I went there looking for scale seats and came home with a whole truck AND scale seats ! haha

just figured I would share incase anyone else likes it and decides to search for it in there loal walmart.

*actual cell phone in store pics haha*
(I had to run it by the wife 2 see if it was ok if I bought it! (mak sure the funds where there) Thank god for pircture texting haha)



















so I plan on buying the X-rail chassis soon as well as some 1.9 wheels and tires (not sure which one's yet) and I am going to make the body as scale as I possibly can! )

here is mybuild link to here if you want to follow along.

Project: Scale Silverado SS 1.9's X-trail Hardbody. My 1st Scaler

thanks
Later bro's!

Has anyone seen a toy with the new Toyota Hilux body? I want to make a scale rig around this soooooo bad. I'm trying to decide whether to go with 2.2 or 1.9. I'll probably go 1.9, then I'm not sure about tires either Rock Stomper or the Trail Doctor XL's as they have a larger tire sidewall which matches this truck better....The problem is, trying to find a shell.
