Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT I've been wanting one of these multi-axle rigs ever since Cross RC came out with the BC8. When HG Model came out with a HEMTT at the price they have along with discount coupons... I had to pick one up! (Still want to eventually pick up the Cross BC8 though). Kit: HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT (For $200 off use Coupon Code: P801CAR) Here is what I received in the package when it was delivered. Front of box shows the P801. I bought the P802. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3fcde8f0_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c88686eb_b.jpg This side shows the P802 that I bought. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fd6b0e88_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0ff0f7fd_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1807f016_b.jpg The package came with these 2 boxes. See that handle on the main box? Remember that for later. It's a huge box. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...07d5be77_b.jpg This is what is inside the smaller box. (Comes with some hex drivers!) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...391b4f40_b.jpg Here's a look at the transmitter. Nothing special. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...010d01e3_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7c3dfa60_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...23d86ec1_b.jpg Here's how that main box looks when opened up. It's basically a carrying case! It's got a carrying handle, it's hinged and held closed by magnets. The truck is pretty damn heavy. It came all "gift wrapped" with bowties. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d1f8a9f0_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...daa47807_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...205bf57e_b.jpg Going to have to stop here for now... Will be back with more pictures. |

I had one of the WL Toys minis and it was garbage. I traded it to a friend. He only wanted the body. This looks much better. Definitely worthy of the Mafia! "thumbsup" I'll be watching with interest to find out the quality and durability. The foam box/case it came with is really cool as well. |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Subbed. |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Wow can't wait to hear how this is, It will make my beast look small lol |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Added some more pictures. I want to see if I can find a tire that is softer for this HEMTT. Then again, it's more suitable for trail running, so maybe the stock tires are ok. Whatever I decide, I guess it won't be cheap with 9 wheels/tires to account for! |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Hmmm...already built?! "thumbsup" |

Maybe I should take it all apart and re-assemble! :lmao: |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Thanks for all the detailed pictures, they're almost as good as being able to poke around it in person "thumbsup" The most important question is what are you gonna tow with that bad boy? |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT WOW!! Awesome Rig and Fantastic photos. Just like being there. |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Very impressive rig. Hard to get a sense of scale though, any chance of a pic with a scale truck nearby just for reference? Congrats on the purchase! |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT I second what OSRC said. Also, is this thing all metal or mostly plastic? I'd be interested to hear what it weights. |

Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Definitely a big truck! Thanks for sharing. Now I'm looking forward to some running video out in the wild! |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Terrific pictures! thanks for the close-up views. There are a couple of items I'm curious about. 1. the sheathed cable near the front steering 2. the spool with the twine on it Are those things just part of the "high imitation" or do they serve functional purposes? |

2. twine seems to be just scale detailing so far. |

Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT So essentially you only paid 600 plus shipping? |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Ha only 16 lbs, thats a lightweight lol thanks for sharing "thumbsup" I'd say a tear down is needed to set your mind at ease, with such a complex truck it would be nice to know all is put together as it should. Yes definitely weather that body that should really bring out the ample detail. It looks like a walking beam suspension but with leafs. Oh and the box it comes with is a nice touch I had to make a box out of 3/8" plywood to transport my 8x8. |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT Really cool looking rig brother! Can't wait to see what you do to it. I will definitely be following along. Always liked the multi axle rigs |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT I am working on a M983, but in a more piecemeal way (plastic cab from Ebay and everything else figured out with a lot of head-scratching). If the fully assembled version you bought had been available at the time, I would have jumped on it! Mine is also 1/12 scale, and here are a couple of things I've found that might be of interest to you. The Tamiya M1025 Humvee is also 1/12th scale, and can be "updated" (armor package; roof turret) if you want. There is a series of pre-built, pre-painted military figures by McFarlane which are also 1/12 scale. I am using a Navy Gunner figure in the turret of my M1025, and a Mk 19 grenade launcher team figure and weapon fot eh ring mount on the M983. Unfortunately, they do not offer a seated figure that can be used for a driver. I am trying to cut apart and "Frankenstein" one that will work for the M983. |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT I passed a convoy of these today. Figured I’d snap a few pics for inspiration sake. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...68cb848fd7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6663b8602d.jpg |
Re: Soze picks up a HG Model P802 OshKosh M983 HEMTT You still have this beast? Ever measure the wheel diameter? Could you please! |
