Just kidding, the grill is obscene and I'm sure the tailgate applique is HERIFIC... I'm just bummed a new bright isn't a drop on option. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to score one of the interiors from someone. | |

ehhhhh you know im actually going to agree, without sarcasm. if the scale is off, i just don't think i could plunk down this much cash for something like this if they didn't get it right. why make something with such a funky wheelbase if its not accurate to the scale market its being sold to? im not completely out, but i will need to see some pics from an early adopter before i pull the trigger... |

It's a lot more accurate scale-wise than nearly every other body I've seen released for crawlers and trail rigs, barring the lack of Ford badging, which will (as I mentioned before) be very likely dealt with by someone with a 3d-printer. However, it's also not aimed at most of us on this site - I doubt if stock it's nearly as off-road capable as, say, the RC4WD Dakar truck from the same people. This is the best page for detailed pics of the vehicle that I have found - definitely has the Tamiya Tuned Machine Modified 35t motor in the pics, and there's a blue one shown here as well: 静点模型JDMODEL正式发布JDM-F150像真皮卡模型 - 新闻/观点 |

The blue one does look better. I do need to get me something for Christmas.. It does look like wheel options may be Zero. Any size on the wheels/tires yet? |

i saw somewhere they are 1.9. not sure for tire OD. and yes i have concerns for wheel swaps also. crossing our fingers maybe that bolt pattern lines up with scale 6 bolt hubs so we just bolt our scale beadlocks to the truck like a 1:1, skipping the hex hub adapter? santa might at least go halves on this with me... its this or the axial SBG kit -er scale builders... kit. ZSzZScZzebra we are all counting on you... no pressure! ;) |

Truck is in Memphis, TN right now. I am doing some assuming but let's say the hub/rotor is just "adapter" from a hex or pin wheel axle. The front is dog-boned from the pictures, so you also have to assume it uses a normal hex or pin setup to drive the hub/wheel. Just my thoughts. |
