Title: Big Rig RC Video - scale/realistic terrain
Post by: Dragon on June 16, 2017, 00:33:03
I just happened to be clicking around on YouTube and I came across this awesome video showing off some very realistic RC Big Rigs along with a scale environment to drive in (roads, construction site for dump trucks, etc).

RC truck action and Mercedes SK stuck at RC Glashaus! BIG R/C FUN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw8ntyRb7_8

Those videos led me to build my own custom 6x6 Tamiya Globe Liner and extended Tamiya flatbed trailer. I'd like to get a lowboy trailer and excavator but they are big money.

Thanks. Here's a couple pics of the Tycos on the trailer for size reference.

Nice. Do you have little ratchet-straps for them too? Either way, your truck looks great!
