Slim

It's near the start, during the 'recruiting' period.

Really wierd thing is, I was watching it on DVD last nite, didn't even know it was on TV!

I read somewhere it was a New Era 1/4 scale truck

Ok, found it in Nov '03 Radio Control Car Action, Backlot.

There's a whole bit about RC in the movies, the Bad Boys II TXT, the Dead Pool Corvette and the Oceans 11 Truck;

Ocean's Eleven Busted Bronco

This Warner Bros. remake of the 1960's Rat Pack classic has a cool drag-racing scene

between a 1/4 scale RC truck and a full-size truck. It shows why you shouldn't race

your RC stuff against real cars. The RC car smokes its tires off the line, starts to pull

the full-size Bronco but is then taken out in spectacular fashion by the full-size

truck's driver so he can avoid the humiliation of losing to a toy

It certainly looks as if the RC vehicle in that scene was a 1/4 scale monster from

New Era, but production companies can be pretty tight-lipped. New Era frequently

sells RC items to production companies, but Hollywood keeps the information

about why they need those things a secret. Even the manufacturers have to wait to

see if their stuff pops up on the big screen

Hmm, dunno, the wheels are similar but the one on the film had a bonnet scoop and I dont think the body shape was as nice as this one

Would be pretty simple to change the bodyshell
