I wonder if that wood box acts as a battery door. That would be pretty slick.

Only misstep is the coil over suspension, but that body looks fantastic. I'll just need ebay to send another one of thos 20% off coupons and I'll own one.

Good find!

That's pretty cool. If the quality is good, which is my concern, it has the potential to be awesome.

... and if you mod it to leafsprings ;)

RocHobby is part of FMS Products and they make nice Airplanes ;)

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

They have been around for quite a while. While they do build airplanes to a price point, they have managed to stay relevant unlike GWS.

Lemme think a small actuator makes this a tilt body.
Hmmmmmmm might just get one to play with


Hang up and Drive

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

That looks like a nice body and very close to fitting our typical 1:10 scale parts.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Is it just me or does it look like it has a 3 link with panhard?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0dcac369bb.jpg

I think you may be right if you look at the underside pic further down I can only see 3 links in the front.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

The specs are giving it a 324mm wheel base, which is 12.76", a 1:1 MB Military has a 80" wheel base. At 1/6th scale, that's 13.3", so this model is actually a tiny bit bigger, somewhere around 1:5.75 scale.

Having built a few of the Hasbro 1/6th-ish scale Jerps, this new one is big!

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Too many people preordered (know some from German forums).

Now it is marked as "sold out" and the price raised by 20 $ ;)

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

I just realized it's 4-link. No, no, no...this should be leaf springs for sure! Who's buying one and doing the conversion?

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

A lot of people will ;)
Cause "everyone" is complaining about the missing leafs.

However: It is crapcheap and looks fantastic.
What would a similar truck made by RC4WD with leafsprings cost? 500, 800, 1000?

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Any known axles that would fit underneath?

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Seeing that its 10 3/16" and most 1/10 scale axles are in the 9"-9 1/2" range it should just be a matter of some wide wheels or hubs to make up the rest.

Capra lists a width of 10 1/4 but then you've got portals which isn't the most scale fit for a flat fender.

Whats the width of an XR mod axle anyone know?

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Is that outside wheel to wheel or axles? Roughly 260mm then.

The AR60 is 245mm hex to hex.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

I was thinking AR60 as well, but they arnt any more scale looking and are not particularly know to be super robust.

On a side note Hrozon Hobby distributes FMS aircraft. It will be interesting to see if they pick this guy up

True. Once upon a time there were many scale and beefier options for the ar60.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

I dont know, these were just what was listed on the product pages. I would assume those number include the wheels but who knows.

I found a list of parts and a French manual on my travels....

Oops... I just ordered mine...
They write expected shipping 24 / 4-20 but let's see if it holds in these corona times.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Nice!



Page 2 has the body and accessories which is great news if anyone wants just the body (once its available).

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Here are more details: canopy.... and... in one shot you can see the wheel turning. Wonder if that feature comes stock? Or - just get the body by itself, once available... hmm. Reminds me of my old sawback, that I cut in pieces :ror:

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Yes, I'd assume its an option but it looks like it may be standard from the wording.

Hi,
PDF Manual is already available (but only in French).

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Hi all,
I'm new of the forum from Italy. I'm a fan of jeep willys ww2. Please I need know if the body and tires can be mounted in my axial scx10 II. Thanks for answers !

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

No.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

To be a bit more precise, the wheels should mount to a standard 12mm hex like the scx10 ii has, but I doubt you could get the body to fit. It is much too large to fit the scx10 chassis.

The interior would likely be in the way on the SCX10.2 tranny. Though anything is possible with enough hacking, determination and modifications.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Man, if I hadn't already done a Sawback as a GPW and hacked a Dragon figure to fit this would be awfully tempting!

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

That 41 GPW looks pretty nice. I have been eye-balling this one to turn into RC.

Here it is driven hard. Is surprising the windshield holds for it.

Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby
 

Looked like my grandson was running it! :shock:

And agreed, amazing that the windshield didn't become a casualty.
