| New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels
Just released by RC4WD: 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... |

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.

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. Last edited by zanthrax; 02-01-2018 at 07:30 AM. |

Badass looking, proper Man cab would be nicer than Volvo though. I like the red. |

Also, why is everyone worried about it being a Volvo cab over a MAN cab? It’s a flipping scale rtr dakar truck!

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. |

Eh agreed, but it's like 16-17lbs iirc and tall n probably kinda top heavy. I like it. |

| Re: New RC4WD Dakar truck, 1/14 scale, 1.7 wheels I don't have any ideas for it just yet, just want to scale drive it around the yard for a bit. Shows Monday for delivery. I did buy a few scale Dakar stickers a few years ago and dug them out of the sticker bin last night.

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?

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 |

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. |
