Future Tamiya Rigs

[WhiteWolf McBride]

MAN... they make most of the heavy chassis, like for the Rosenbauer 'Panther' fire trucks, the MAN military MILGL 5t 4x4, 7t 6x6 and 10t 8x8, and the Faun.

Now THAT would be a sweet hauler to see, and yea, I know RC4WD makes a cab, but only in 1/10 and 1/12, and AFV's 'kit' is a WHOLE kit, not parts (otherwise I'd slap one on my Robbe Panther chassis)

Then there is Oshkosk and their HEMTT workhorse... lots of variations there, including the almost-civvie TFFT.

Or a nice US Military/Civvie crossover, the US M35 series 6x's. Many are leaving US service, and getting Multifuel conversions. That would satisfy two R/C communities, and if done right, could give us a 6x6 chassis too!

Yea... wishful thinking... I still oogle ar Peter Mueller's 1/16 Faun SLT2-50 kit at times *whine*

Oshkosh does make a civvie version of the TFFT....it is called the striker. The cab design is somewhat similar to the HEMTT, but they have done alot of changes and upgrades to change it to the Striker brand.

Now what would be neat in the cab arena as well is someone to come out with a good fire truck cab. I know quite a few people around in my area that would love one of these if they came out with it. I agree with the earlier posts....if I had the money I would definitely try making and selling them.
