I met the people that built and designed those over Easter Jeep safari in Moab. They said that those should be in wal-mart shortly.

Yeah I talked with them too. Its a company named "Nylink" or "Nylint", something like that. They are making 1/6th scale also. They told me that you could also buy them in parts, so like just the body and wheels/tires.

Naw, this thread right here is talking about a different crawler, a Nylint rock crawler, where the other thread I linked is talking about a Super Slick MT crawler from Toysrus. 2 different trucks. This is the first I've heard about the Nylint one.

I'm wondering what these Nylint trucks have for a suspension. It's hard to tell if the axles are realistic looking or not. Do they have a tranny and d-shafts? Or do they have motors on the axles?

I'm thinking motors in the axles. There are switches on each axle for some reason.

well your behind the times then. done told you it was discussed about some..

i know the one you posted was different, but the above( scorpion) is the same exact same thing here Tactial Vehicles RC Scorpion on the site they say its a 1:6th scale, but that version has not been released yet. the one on the site is a 1:18th scale

Your confusing me Jeremy. The thread you linked me to (which I have seen) is a 1:6 scale version of the scorpion. This thread is showing a 1:18 version. 2 different trucks. How does that make this post a repost? :?

OK, even more confused now.

So you say they posted it wrong on the scorpion page? So it's really a 1:18 scale, and the same Nylint Rockcrawler posted in this thread for $39.99?

Then how do you explain this quote from Magic in the thread Jeremy linked to:


"i got this email from scorpion,

The price for the complete model will be under $200, so the expectations
should be modest. This is a real entry-level to get folks excited about the
sport. Watch your local Wal-Mart this July!

Ira Chandler

i asked for specs but it didnt happen."

did you not read anything that i just posted?

they say its a 1:6th scale, but the 1:6th scale version has not been released yet. the one pictured is the 1:18th scale, which is the exact same thing in the first link in this thread.

the under $200 price is for the 1:6th scale, not the 1:18th scale.


there are 2 different sizes of the same truck

OK, I understand that part now. Thats what you were trying to say.

But I still don't understand how you can call this post a REPOST. I have not seen anyone mention anything about the 1:18 scale of this truck. Sure the 1:6 scale truck has been posted, but I diddnt see any mention of the smaller 1:18 scale. Therefore, this post IS NOT a repost. It's new information.

Agreed.

In that thread its all about the big trucks. This one is about small. Hence not a repost.
