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.

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? Last edited by AdamF; 04-26-2005 at 09:01 PM. | |

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

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. | |
