The Hero is back!


Edit: seriously though, that looks more like a scale construction site pickup than a desert runner

[J55TTC]

Will be following with interest. Anyone know a guesstimate timeframe from first release to hitting the shelves?

[stevetate12]

wasn't there a post with this truck showing the scale ifs etc....?

[soze]

Your right it must be as it actually has 4 wheels attached.

That's why I can't get interested in it. Sure it'll be scale, but it doesn't look to be all that capable. That's exactly why RC race buggies aren't scale. It wouldn't work well.

Reading between the lines Big Squid hinted the announcement in the next couple of weeks or so.

Yes, is the JD Models Hero.

This....Super scale from JDMODEL Ford F150

[DukeMinnix]

If this is close to the dimensions of the new bright raptor body, I'm in as I have an extra one laying around. It would make a nice shelf rider in my office.

I still think its going to cost between 1 and 2 thousand.
But if its cheaper... Consider me interested?
Anyone who saw me at proline by the fire knows I would still wheel the heck outta this rig hahaha
"Not capable"
You know what yoda would say about that??? Lol

Official pages are up too. It'll be interesting to see what people do with them, but in the photos they look to be made from a lot of plastic. A lot. And the body looks very much like a toy.

Awesome to see it come with an XT60 connector though!

Possible lack of durability aside...

HOLY CRAP much cheaper than I expected!!!
Haha just what I need, another "incapable" ford hahaha

But seriously I am thinking about this one. I already have ideas for paint and upgrades... ;)

Well it appears to be mostly plastic - even the chassis - so I don't think the price is that great if that's the case.

Looks amazing it’ll make the perfect tow rig for my tf2

[Szczerba]

From an IG page. I ordered one up.

True. If it’ll do any sort of off-roading maybe the aftermarket will catch up with bits and pieces. At least HR maybe or GPM.

Just looking at the photos I can dig up online, the chassis seems to be metal. Cross members and the front IFS seem plastic.
I have the JD/RC4WD Dakar truck and like the mix of scale and RC. The selectable locker and HI/LO speed is a fun feature. The selectable lockers will be cool on this pickup. The Dakar is cool shelf rig and fun to scale drive around. I knew that when buying it and have the same expectations with this pickup.
