What Truck To Get

Recommended Posts

It is also possible to get a long-nose Scanina :unsure: This is one example:

And here the "T Long line":

These are only the cab/body.

Great website I will have to have a good look around in it.

In regards to the kit I actually don’t mind the Aeromax…. I guess someone has to like it.

Still not sure yet what to get as I am putting a bit of time into getting everything together for my M05 S build but this isn’t far out of mind mind

Is the Aeromax tractor a longer wheelbase or is that just an optical thing. It just looks bigger on the box than the others.

Me too, I think it looks great, except the Box Art colour, but Skottoman has proven these rigs dont 'need' to be Box Art

I think that’s what can make it a turn off or be seen as ugly as the box art does nothing for it from a marketing point.

Believe it or not if I get the Aeromax I think I will be painting in a nice yellow.....I have got the simple part thought of or what is not important at this time :lol:

I'm thinking one of these (Aeromax) might ship with my Supershot, and put the Bruiser on hold for a while, we'll see what happens once the 'Shot is released I guess

Top 3 for me would be:

Scania R620

Knight Hauler

Globe liner

I want the Globe Liner as my next truck <_<

What's everyone's thoughts on what we in Australia call a "bull bar"? Thinking of one for my Aeromax, but not sure. Most trucks (1:1) in Oz use them for the vast distances through the country that they travel to protect them from wild life damage. I think Tamiya call it an animal guard?

Cheers for comments

The Tamiya "animal guard" will not fit the Aeromax, because it is designed for use with the "flat" bumpers of the King Hauler og the Globe Liner, so you will have to do some modding to get it to work, I guess... :)

I picked up some wheels/spare chains/mudflaps on Ebay.

RC4WD has some awesome white steel beadlock wheels (out of stock)

There are obviously some great sites in Denmark, Germany, etc... But I sometimes find them hard to navigate.

Haha, now wouldn't that be funny, an email from my wife explaining the joys of buying RC trucks. Hahaa...

Maybe you should say "I want one of these", and then give her links to all the Tamiya trucks. That way she can choose for you, thus giving her the power!

Might make it more fun for her...

Cheers,

Skottoman
