Is this custom a 1850L?

[low&slow]

I have a 1850L and from the few photos it looks like a custom front. Anyone have some info on this delivery truck?

Yes that is a custom truck. They have added a second front axle and converted it to Nitro power. It would be an interesting truck but not usable if you plan to go to some of the truck shows put on by our members as most of them are indoors and the truck is nitro powered. It would be neat to show of to your friends though.

Thanks Travis for the info, it caught my eye as being out of the normal that I see on here. Just wasn't sure if Tamiya made a nitro version.

It is cool looking but that nitro stuff is a pain to keep up with....I'll stick with my electric that I can run inside the house and chase the dog with!

Interesting! twin steer and single screw, That make's it a "Chinese Six'' configuration.
Look's neat, hate to have to clean it.

Cheer's, Neil.

thats pretty cool! always wanted to convert one of my trucks to nitro! love the smell and sound but it would be a pain to clean for sure.
