This is a pretty cool video!! If it wasn't for the lack of diesel sound you'd be fooled by this RC model. Somebody spent a lot of time making it look very real. Everything looks good and it does well "off road" too.!! Enjoy!

All it needs is a diesel sound. Pretty cool! I would buy one if I could find one, but I would say it's probably one of a kind.

That's a great video!! Maybe we should help him dub in the right sound effects for the engine!

I bet if put some more weight in the truck it wouldn't spin the wheels so much.

Anyone know where the truck model can be located? I've got an RC transceiver set that needs a job!

I have an RC tractor from a tractor-trailer setup. I would love to find a deuce body to set on the chassis.

Thats pretty wicked. I have 3 observations. 1) Never saw the front tires turn, like for a corner. I probably just missed it. 2) Lotsa wheel speed. Wished My M35A2 could do that. 3) He now needs to embark on an M543A2 project to recover said rollover.

This model kit might be smaller than you want, but you could make it work....maybe.

It's a nice piece, even looks to be 6x6, someone put many, many hours into that thing, that said I would love to buy one, assuming it doesn't cost as much as the real thing.

customrcmodels.com builds similar truck and sells them in kits or complete true six wheel drive multiple speed tranny and you can buy a sound unit that can replicate the engine noise and even vibration(if you want to be fancy). check them out cool videos and pics

Around the 30 second marker or a few seconds before you actually see the wheels are turned slightly and then he corrects to go straight and then turns them a bit again.
