Some Of my Big Rig Collection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These trucks are Radio Controlled and are 1/14 scale and 1/16 scale.

This first one is made by WEDICO out of Germany. It is my 1/16 scale Freightliner Century Class.
All aluminum Diecast construction It has a 3 speed transmission powered by a 540 7.2VDC motor aluminum rims, rubber tires and functioning lights and sound.

This next truck is a 1/14 scale Tamiya Truck. I modified it to look like a Kenworth W900 Arodyne

*low&slow* · 04-25-2009, 07:29 PM

that is freakin sweet
how much does it cost to make one of those?

big_al_71 · 04-25-2009, 10:20 PM

I really like those rigs!!!!!!

57ToyBox · 04-25-2009, 11:06 PM

Thanks guys

I really like the hobby. But it can be a very deep money pit.

The Wedico Century Class is about $2000.00 now and can be valued at $6000 when it is done.

The 2 Tamiya trucks in the garage (Kenworth and the Peterbilt) with all the accessories can get up to $500.00
But just the basic Tamiya King Hauler kit is around $345 on ebay.
I do some of my shopping here. http://www.gardentrucking.com/

rod86 · 06-10-2009, 04:50 AM

how many cases of beer will it tow?

57ToyBox · 06-10-2009, 07:00 PM

HaHaHa That's a good idea !!!!

I could carry a case of 24 on the flat bed LOL

I could be sitting by the pool with the remote control radio and
Politely ask my wife to load it up and then drive it down the walk way to my lawn chair by the pool.

**special-K** · 06-12-2009, 05:07 AM

Does hauling alchohol require a special permit?

Mayo · 06-12-2009, 11:01 AM

Thats cool

Hey Glenn,check my thread in General Disco called "All Packed & Ready to Go" I posted on 6/19.I went to an antique truck show and got lots of pictures.

andrewmp6 · 11-19-2009, 10:45 AM

Looks great any thoughts of going brushless or twin motor?

57ToyBox · 01-17-2010, 12:02 AM

Thanks Andrew.. No to both.. I sold the dual motor transmission and the only advantage to brushless is it's quieter
I have a rock crawler Rooster speed controller to maintain the scale speed.

Here are some picture with my graphic on it now.

Believe me, we've had a lot more snow since I've taken these picture
