The first video is of my CAT dump truck. The SM7 sound system is pretty sweet. Its a little better than the SMX.

The second video is of a Dromida Wasteland 4x4 1/18 buggy. We just had to have some fun on the Ice from Winter Storm Jupiter...

Great video! Love the angle shots. Sm7 sounds perfect too. Glad seeing another 740 running around.

Thanks! I love it too. For years I would see some negative comments on the Wedico 740. Also some good comments.. But the bad comments made me hesitant in getting one. One of the main things that was talked about was the front end of the 740. "It looks kindof weird", "It looks too wide or long or something". "Not good to have a full drivetrain for a 6x6 articulated dumper". Not sure if anyone else remembers this, but I remember seeing this type of stuff. But in person the front end looks just fine to me not that I have had this for a while. It looks just like the 1:1 trucks. I think the tire height may have played a part in the overall look. If the truck could accommodate a tad bigger tire. Like 6mm taller (1/4"). I tried it, they do not fit... The drivetrain works smooth like my 966. Lots of power. I could put tons of stuff in the back to haul around. HA HA, I said tons.. So, overall, this 740 is awesome. The details between the cab and the dump bed looks sweet. Thats why I emphasized that part of the truck in the video. I love this truck.

Thanks! Yes that sm7 with the programming card gives you a little more option. But it has a little better sound. I like how it sound on the video at the 2:04 mark when the truck is starting to go with the load of rocks. Also when the 740 is backing up at the 3:27 mark.

This is a great detailed truck. Not at powerful as my Fumotec B50. That thing is an absolute BEAST. But this 740 turned out to be above my expectations.
