New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Just released by RC4WD: http://www.rc4wd.co.uk/product/VV-JD00021-17.jpg 1/14 Dakar Rally Scale RTR Race Truck What's weird is that this uses their existing Volvo cab while this truck has been teased before using the correct MAN cab... |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels The production unit looks like absolute garbage to me. What's with all the red? And those "billet" aluminum parts look like they came directly from AliExpress. The axles still appear to be soft pot metal. No thank you. |

Real deal with lashings of red, lucky they can't get red tyres |

I love red, but that's too much red, for me, either way. |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels What's weird is that the product page for the seperate wheels shows a different, accurate cab. The fact that the production truck uses the wrong Volvo cab from the Armageddon truck makes me not want this. http://www.rc4wd.co.uk/product/VVV-S0153-8.jpg |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Badass looking, proper Man cab would be nicer than Volvo though. I like the red. :) |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels I ordered one, haters. [emoji12] Got sent this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5bOwZ37KLU&sns=em |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Also, why is everyone worried about it being a Volvo cab over a MAN cab? It’s a flipping scale rtr dakar truck! |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Cool, looks like it handles pretty well and takes a beating, I'm sure you'll have a good thread when it gets here! Cab looks fine either way to me, but more slightly more scale than Volvo. :) |

Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Eh agreed, but it's like 16-17lbs iirc and tall n probably kinda top heavy. I like it. 8) |

Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels After having those large scale 6x6's and Dakar style rigs that you've built in the past, will it seem strange to have a smaller rig to flick around? |

I've been looking at some of the 1/14 Tamiya rigs/trailers for a haul setup. :mrgreen: |

Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Got mine today. It handles better than I assumed. 2 speed transmission with locking/unlocking axle differentials. Three options on radio are Low speed 4WD Low speed open diffs High speed open diffs Tires are weak sauce but that’s expected Truck running gear is smooth and consistent feeling Axles are rad I am not bummed about the 1/12-ish size. The details and scale coolness more than make up for it, IMO. Worth the price tag for me as well. Next to my #szczerbabuilt f-toy and #szczerbabuilt flatbed yota truck https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4dd2fda090.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6e1e89892e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62ba24dffc.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...de03e54d5d.jpg |
Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels Would love to get a body if this for 1/10. I got to see this trucks in person last year in Bolivia she. They came through. Very impressive. Much more fun watching Dakar than stupid NASCAR races. All kinds of vehicle classes and styles. |
