Thanks to everybody for the comments and I hope you got as much of a smile from seing it as I did while I was building it.

You should build another, and make it a tractor. Build a really short dump trailer for it, that has the trailer wheels just behind the drivers and 5th wheel. It would be good practice for backing up!
Nate you send me a truck kit and I will build you one.




For those of you that are curios here are the specs on the truck.

Total length tail gate to bumper= 9 3/4in
Cab= 4in
Bed= 5in
Wheelbase= 5in and just so you know the distance of the tandems on a stock truck is 4 1/8

Thanks for looking.
Travis

Nice work! Out of curiosity, is there any such 1:1 truck and if so, what is it's purpose?
There probably isn't and this is just for fun, but I couldn't help but wonder if it is actually based on anything.

Hey SWAGGER, the closest 1:1 truck would be a mobile home toter.

It was built just for the fun of it and it will be a great truck to run around at the shows.

It is driven by a Carson gear motor to the stock Tamiya axle.
