Last year, we featured a custom radio control 67-72 Ford Bumpside Ford truck. Today, we have a hand built radio control 1967 Dodge Fargo Sweptline Power Wagon truck. We are serious when we say it was hand made. The wood body and driver are hand carved. The chassis is homemade from wood and aluminum. It uses Axial axles and shafts and RC4WD transmission, rims and reduced tires. A GCM transfer case and 18.5 Novak goat esc and motor wrap up the drivetrain. I still cannot believe that the body is hand carved! What an incredible job! Make sure to check out the video below!

Matchbox recently suprised us by releasing a 1st generation Toyota 4Runner to it’s lineup. The new 4Runner toy is a great copy of the 1985-1989 Toyota 4Runner. The toy colors and striping are very close to those of the original and the tires are proportional to the vehicle size, unlike the Matchbox size toys with monster truck tires. However, the chrome interior leaves a little to be desired. What do you think? Would you pick one up if you saw it at the local store?

When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet Luv? How about a 4×4 version? They are pretty rare these days, so if you want to build one, your best bet may be to build a plastic model version like ddlova from the Off Road Model forum did! I love the classic vintage look! What do you think?

This is pretty neat! Most of the models that we see are perfect. If they were real vehicles, they would be in a car show or museum. Chuck Most from the Off Road Models forum built this International Scout model. The rust and front end damage looks very real. Awesome job!

You just have to love this mini Willys Jeep build! It is a 1/2 scale Bemak 1941 Willys MB Slat Grille body mounted on a 1980 John Deere 111 lawn tractor chassis and powerplant. It has an 11 hp Briggs and Stratton engine with 5 speed manual transmission. The 1.5 gallon jerry can on the rear is actually the fuel tank. Colin modified the tractor to run on 12volts so he could have working lights! I want to build one! I do not have kids, but that does not matter, right? Now, I wonder where to find a Bemak body.

Remember when you built plastic models when you were a kid? I was never good at it, but I tried again a few years ago and built a nice custom Grand Cherokee that matched my 1:1 version. However, it was never as good as some of the ones at Off Road Models !

I do not get onto the RC forums very often, but this build from Scale 4×4 RC caught my eye. Being that the 1969-72 Ford Bumpside F100 is one of my favourite truck body styles, I fell in love with this buildup! What a great job!

In response to our previous post about the life size Tamiya Sand Sand Scorcher Baja Bug , we have some more photos and a video of the buildup. The builders also have a new website. Click the photos below to see them larger. Note: If you are reading this via email or Facebook, you may [...]

Tamiya recently commissioned a life size replica of their famous Sand Scorcher remote control Baja Bug that they sold over 20 years ago. The 1:1 replica has been built to celebrate the release of the new updated version of the famous Sand Scorcher. Make sure to check out the vintage 80’s RC videos below. If [...]
