If it wasn't for the wheel wobble, you'd swear you were looking at a 1:1 truck - great piece of promo video

[Wandy 1519]

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.

[Quandry 378]

I am not in to Trucks per say but that is just amazing!

[Tamiyabigstuff 809]

I like it - and it's on my list for Santa

[speedy_w_beans 4265]

Great looking truck. The video makes it look so real. It's either this or a Ford Aeromax for me.

[Tamiya1/10 381]

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

[MadInventor 3881]

Not for me, just too ugly. If I got back into these it would have to be the king hauler or globe liner.

[Shodog 1833]

I like it but I'm not sure the color they chose complimented the lines of the truck

Agree. Better like this?

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

[MadInventor 3881]

That looks better, but nah, still prefer the old school rigs

[Wandy 1519]

I have to admit it is quickly growing on me. Amazing what a coat of paint can do.

[berman 5313]

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.... ).

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]

It looks a bit like the aeromax in places

[Shodog 1833]

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

[Shodog 1833]

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

[Tamiya1/10 381]

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.

Wish Tamiya would make 1/14 truck driver figure...

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....

Yup... that too! It'd be perfect.

[Percymon 2183]

Stella and RCMart have stock at under $300

[bromvw 743]

While I like Tamiya trucks this one has to be the most ugly ever - Pass from me .

[Shodog 1833]

When I get some spare coin I'll definitely get one
