Awesome backlog haha

So got some up coming builds to tease with.

M35 Rat Rod is finally being bein finished. My 1st full RC successful build, but it has taken a while to perfect the pla printed parts.

All b36 command vehicle in paint currently

Zil 131, which I will be using in an 8x8 unique Russian truck build.

Man KAT1 8x8 Dakar truck

I have also bought, and this is a sign of madness a
Subotech Mutt M151, Wpl c24, Jjrc q65 jeep, Soviet ural, Soviet ural.command vehicle, oil tank, wpl b24 GAZ 66, jjrc q64 man kat and a few others I bought! My wife is loving painting these, so I am building and designing parts, she is painting and detailing.
We also bought a Abrams tank project and other vehicles.
We lost the plot haha

Morning all,

As there's a bit of interest in the horch i thought I'd add a couple of pics of a build I started on a little while ago now, it's one of the 1/18 scale Indiana Jones horch type vehicles that I've worked on, it's just a static build but I'm sure with the parts available and the 3D geniuses we have here now someone could make a nice rc running vehicle from one

Very cool, be a good project for someone to get into

I was considering that last night actually, Lee. The biggest problem would be the axles, as they are much shorter than the WPL ones. I think I can just about cut them down enough for the Horch, but I think those Mercedes G5's are narrower still.

Quick measurement, it's approximately 80mm from the insides of the front tyres tiger6, the tyres are hard plastic and have hollow backs so new one's would be needed also, hopefully someone can have idea's on getting one of these running

Cheers, Lee.

This is supposed to be 1/18 scale but it stacks up well besides my other 1/16 axis vehicles ie kubelwagen, schwimmwagen etc

Cheers, Lee.

Will, I'm sure a man with the truck building knowledge and skills that you have could get one of these running in no time

Cheers, Lee.

I have a whole bunch of them in the loft, been on the look out for a means of RCing them for a while. New rims and tyres are not an issue, and I guess the front axle need not be powered so I could dispense with the need to chop down a WPL axle there. An N30 motor/gearbox would fit under the floor of the cap nicely, so its just the rear axle to sort out.

That, and finding the time to sit down and figure it all out

Look forward to seeing if you figure it out Tiger6

Cheers, Lee.
