Yeah, they come with the tamiya highlift kits, I have had the ones off of the f350 and they are a pretty nice addition.

A looong time ago, I saw a video on here of a Jeep that had working wipers. I've also seen some on large scale big rigs on Youtube.

Somebody on here or Scale4x4RC was toying with real working wipers. Had a video of them too. Don't think they ever made into a rig though.  |

You'd need a micro servo modded for constant turn, turning an eccentric wheel connected to linkages driving the wiper arms. Pretty much a like 1:1 system but in 1:10th scale. And an open channel for them. I've thought about it breifly. If I could be positive that the wiper blades would apply enough pressure to actually wipe mud off the windshield I might pursue it further... Last edited by Big Mike; 09-11-2009 at 06:54 PM. | |

In order for them to be effective at wiping mud from the windshield you would need working windshield washers as well. |

I don't think wiping mud off a plastic window is a good idea. Scratches with every wipe i think. But hey, just my opinion. You could also use a small motor and just have a manual switch on the car somewhere. Switch 'm on when you go into the drink. |

Yup, that's the one! Those babies are cooking in that vid.  I'd like to see a vid with the slower motor. |

There's a 3rd generation Pajero toy-grade R/C in 1/10th scale (Someone posted an ebay link and bought one) that supposedly has working wipers. Has anyone seen this Pajero? Last edited by rampage; 11-20-2009 at 01:19 AM. |
