Percymon 2184 Posted January 29, 2014 If it wasn't for the wheel wobble, you'd swear you were looking at a 1:1 truck - great piece of promo video 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted January 29, 2014 It's a bit of a beast, no doubt about it. However, that front end is hideously ugly. It's a thumbs down from me I'm afraid. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quandry 378 Posted January 29, 2014 I am not in to Trucks per say but that is just amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted January 30, 2014 I like it - and it's on my list for Santa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted January 30, 2014 Great looking truck. The video makes it look so real. It's either this or a Ford Aeromax for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted January 31, 2014 kind of wish they shot the clip with 2 trucks and a 1/14 Jean Claude VanDamn placed in between .:-D The King is still the one, hence is called the KING...the rest are just commoners.:-D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted January 31, 2014 Not for me, just too ugly. If I got back into these it would have to be the king hauler or globe liner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted January 31, 2014 I like it but I'm not sure the color they chose complimented the lines of the truck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted January 31, 2014 I like it but I'm not sure the color they chose complimented the lines of the truck Agree. Better like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted February 1, 2014 I am not in to Trucks per say but that is just amazing! You will. Is the natural progression. All of a sudden you will be wondering how the 10 wheels or 18 wheels if including the trailer would be like running down your street shifting through the gears and the sound of a deisel supercharged v8 and horn blasting.and realized should have got one years ago. Is a man's toy...because the feelings will be rated "R" :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted February 1, 2014 Agree. Better like this? That looks better, but nah, still prefer the old school rigs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted February 1, 2014 I have to admit it is quickly growing on me. Amazing what a coat of paint can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah the 'Champagne-ish' colour in the video certainly screams 'Placid' and 'Elderly' much like with 1:1 cars. I also think the huge aero on the back of the cab and the skirts aren't in sync with the smallish front bumper. But it's something new and I still like it, but there is other trucks I want first (hope the missus doesn't read this.... "No,no honey, I agree two trucks is more than enough.... ).

HOMER.07 0 Posted February 3, 2014 This baby has gone on to my wish list. It would look good in Metallic Red or Metallic Purple Don't like the stripes. This FREIGHTLINER would look great along side my BLACK FREIGHTLINER CORONADO/KNIGHT HAULER. TAMIYA should make a LOW LOADER TRAILER for us RC TANKERS.

Vrdetailing 1241 Posted February 3, 2014 It looks a bit like the aeromax in places Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted February 3, 2014 Agree. Better like this? The color is kinda Meh to me but I do like the striping. I will most likely get one of these once they are out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted February 3, 2014 It looks a bit like the aeromax in places For 1:1 trucks, the aeromax was one of the first to use aero dynamics to increase MPG. Most of the long haul trucks you see on the road have elements of aero design. The only old school trucks you see are short haul vehicles like gasoline and dirt haulers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted February 3, 2014 In the name of mpg or L/100km modern cars and trucks are hard to tell who makes them. In the olden days where gas was $0.25 per gallon there were more style. I guess one cannot do too much to a rain drop. The King is like a Hardley and rest are like those Ninja or Ducai speed demons with everything all covered up.

This FREIGHTLINER would look great along side my BLACK FREIGHTLINER CORONADO/KNIGHT HAULER. TAMIYA should make a LOW LOADER TRAILER for us RC TANKERS. Yeah I think a Low Loader, Low Boy, or even a Drop Deck would be nice. Something we can put tanks or construction equipment on. (I am aware or the other marques). Wish Tamiya would make 1/14 truck driver figure... There is the option from Verkerk Modelbau, but yes I wish Tamiya would make their own, I also wish Tamiya would make RHD dash conversions for their (Euro) Trucks....
