1/25-1/20 scale gmc topkick?

[kevinhayden]

Anyone know of any gmc topkick bodies in the 1/25-1/20 scale range? Im lookin for one like ironhide from transformers with the truck bed on it. I've found a few transformer toys but of course the body is in many many pieces so that it can transform and I'd really prefer it be a solid body ( the bed can be separate or even an actual model would work ).

If not a topkick body I would also do a ford or international of the same type body.

There will likely be useful info here.

Heres a bunch that can work with the micro crawler or trail trekker. Nothing perfect tho.

Thanks for the link fungi. That's an awesome build. I was actually lookin for the newer year model truck but after seein that one I may go for that body style if I don't find the one im lookin for.

@ Rclee. Is the black one with the cat sticker and the blue one the tonka trucks? I think my son my have an orange one of those that I have forgotten about. Time for some toy box diving. Lol

Target has a red tonka topkick. Not sure of exact size. But looks close to a trekker

Yes their tonka....they have top kick, snowplow, bucket truck, emergency vehicles.

I absolutely love the GMc topkick, I already did all the leg work in finding a truck for every scale of r/c that im into lol

for your application go with the Ironhide leaders series and attack it with a dremel, for a long time.

leader series is the biggest one here.

This is the topkick I was talking about from target. I saw it there 1 day. Went home and came back with my micro to size it..fits wb perfectly. I have the torsion dp chassis if that helps...didn't end up buying the topkick.

I've seen it too, but it's too small to fit scale for a trekker. MAYBE a MRC, or a custom chassis. wheel wells are tiny imo.
