These trucks are great and cheap and plentiful( i still have 20 in my attic lol)
If you are a modeller i would alwasy suggest you try and buy and then build your own, but i have to say Cat & I started out buying, modifying and selling these trucks to start with almost 3 years ago.
We then spent alot of time making 3D printed parts for these trucks. You can end up spending a fortune on them though! I have several trucks which now owe me more than £200 with all electrics and bits and pieces i bought in or made for them! You can then end up with a robust superb small scale truck.
Buying 2nd hand but new modified or built trucks can give you a cool truck, but also takes away from the enjoyment of building it yourself.

I tend to design alot of my vehicles now around trying to use as many parts as i can to keep costs low for the buyer, so the gears and axles and chassis rails are really useful, i just tend to throw the rest of the stuff in the box labelled 'maybe one day another rat rod' hahaha

a 3d printer or knowing someone with a 3d printer will mean you can really unlock the potential of these trucks


go forward and enjoy

@Painlesswolf, that truck looks very cool with the correct rims on it

Did you only paint the wood, or replace it as I saw in a thread here?

Jee!
I cut out the slats and replaced them and the bed\tailgate with wood. ( may have been my Build Thread for this truck that you saw...it is an easy way to add great detail to these trucks ;0) Now, on with NAB's thread!

Ah yes, that has to be your truck I have seen, very impressive.

In the mean time I found some cabs which you can easily download and print (if you have a printer of course)

Only didnt find the rims and tyres yet.

Or you could even go down this route….



The possibilities are endless

Or maybe you could cut the roof off and do a few extra mods to do this version that I'm currently working on myself, there's soooo many options viewtopic.php?f=209&t=31584&hilit=Lrdg+truck

Cheers, Lee.

And of course there is a 4 wheeled (2Axle) version available.

ow, come on guys, don't tell me I have to buy 2 more trucks

that LRDG is looking very good

Hehhhehehehehe
I remember whe they first came out I ended up having 9ver 100 different wpl/jjrc/henglong/mz/eachine trucks in my spare room and spent months detailing and upgrading them and then selling them on.
