What an outfit like Tamiya could do is offer royalties to PACCAR. 10% of the profits for every Pete or KW model sold. I would gladly pay that amount in royalties. Besides the cab, I would need sources for scale cab-related hardware and trim: 1. working headlights 2. working cab marker lights 3. front bumper 4. hood 5. chrome air filters 6. chrome grille 7. Kenworth hood emblems: "KENWORTH" on the hood sides and KW logo on the grille 8. opening cab doors with handles 9. windshield and windows 10. cab interior: steering wheel, dash and seats 11. fenders 12. visor 13. mirrors 14. cab driver figure 15. chrome stacks 16. windshield wipers 17. chrome window trim

Re: No Stock R/C Kenworths
You can't expect them to make every make and model of truck. You may want a W900 but I want a 925 and Joe Blow wants a T800 then Jay Bone wants a Pete and Polly Cracker wants a Mack Superliner ect. That's the reason the aftermarket exists. You can get whatever you want. Just open your wallet wide enough and all is yours. I'm not trying to be a jerk but you are missing the point of the hobby for most of us. We don't want a kit truck. We use what we need from the kit and customize the rest. It's what makes it fun.

Re: No Stock R/C Kenworths
I just found the True Scale RC website. Besides a cab by goose 19 this firm maybe able to help me with other aspects of a custom truck build as well, even paint if the price is right. I am going to ask them about doing a Bruder cement conversion as well.
So, the Tamiya King Hauler 1/14 scale kit should be my platform for a custom truck build for what I have in mind? Depending upon how my budget works out and the availability of hired custom cement mixer work, I could just go for a custom painted KW tractor or a custom painted KW mixer. The thing is, a scale semi trailer can be expensive too. A tractor needs a trailer as a companion. The mixer is a stand-alone vehicle. I am going to ask True Scale about a motorized Bruder mixer barrel that can be variable speed and reversible as well controlled by radio.

Re: No Stock R/C Kenworths
i'm sure for a couple grand in labor, plus a couple grand in parts, pretty much any of the talented builders on this forum could get you what you want...
how deep are your pockets? |
