Wheelbase: 13.89" (353mm) The website Szczerba posted says the overall length is about 24 inches but who knows if that is accurate. Either way, it is large and unwieldy much like a real Raptor. Last edited by svt923; 10-30-2018 at 11:36 AM. | |

| Re: Coming soon RC4WD desert runner WTF? Such an odd, non-standard wheelbase. |

Looks like they scaled up to 1/8 to make it the correct scale size in proportion to the Toyota body.

| Re: Coming soon RC4WD desert runner
how so? should a hilux be bigger than a raptor? i think the scale looks spot on. another concern i have is the hub design. are we going to be able to bolt a standard hex hub wheel on this without some crazy adapters? Last edited by Shinchu; 10-31-2018 at 12:46 PM. |

| Re: Coming soon RC4WD desert runner
thanks for clearing that up, gents. with that said, getting a driver figure from NECA at 7 inches, wouldn't quite look right? that's kind of a bummer and maybe a deal breaker. |

| Re: Coming soon RC4WD desert runner Get a 7 inch Ethan Hunt figure and have him sit on a scale phone book like I imagine 1:1 Tom Cruise has to do. |

| Re: Coming soon RC4WD desert runner 1/9 scale would equate to a 124.74 inch wheelbase, still further away from reality than 1/10 scale does, buth 9 inches one direction and 6 the other, its the different in datsun and "dotsun" edit: I'm not generally a scale nazi, but I'm a ford sales manager and happened to have the raptor specs sitting in front of me haha |

Looking at RC4WD truck, it seems like the rear wheels are shoved forward and there is more bed behind the rear wheels than the 1:1 version. That would explain the short wheelbase in comparison to the overall length. | |
