[nickbtubas]

those models are VERY expensive. i looked them up earlier this year and they were like $150+

[Drew10]

For a moment I thought that was the "real" new Werner Coranodo. I was wondering why it was sitting on carpet.

Check out this one:

Here's a specs page for that truck (with some videos):
http://www.tamiya.com/english/produc...uler/index.htm

Here's where you can buy it:
http://www.tamiya.com/english/produc...uler/index.htm

$349.99 for the basic kit, then start adding for the radio, servo's, addon's, etc.

I'd LOVE to build one. The thing even has a 3 speed transmission on it. I saw a website a few years ago where they posted a basic "step-by-step" on what it took to build one. The entire truck comes in pieces. You assemble EVERYTHING on it.

Here's a review of it with assembly pics of the truck & a tanker trailer:

If you're interested in a "classic" looking truck, there's the King Hauler:

Too much money for a toy.
Still kinda neat anyway.

I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!

Dammit, I spent my vacation working my butt off ripping out all my carpet and replacing it with hardwood floors. Now the kids have a place to run R/C vehicles. I want one. I really, really want one.

Um. For my son to play with.

Where do you see that? The proffered link is a spec page at the manufacturer, but no shopping cart type facilities. One of the other links leads to a place to buy these things, and the Knight Hauler kit is listed at £258.00.

That's:

Live rates at 2007.07.04 05:05:16 UTC 258.00 GBP = 520.492 USD

OUCH!!!

I don't want one that bad. If I were going to spend $520 at a toy store, I'd let my wife go to some more adult-oriented place and knock herself out. It would be a lot more fun than building a model of what I do for a living.

Oops - I didn't realize I didn't actually copy the correct address for buying one.

They have 3 different truck body styles:

DAMN so for the whole set up truck and trailer and all the lights your talking over a 1,000 dollars i got better things to do with my money.

I did a search on ebay for the Knight Hauler. There was one guy selling his complete setup: truck, trailer & radio. He had over $1,400 invested in it.

But, DAMN, it does look cool.

Reminds me of a few years ago when I went Xmas shopping with my cousin. This was when the 1st Xbox was the hot commodity and hard to find. Once we found one we had to "test" it for an afternoon before he wrapped it up for his stepson.

Now if they had a Volvo VN or a daycab Ford/Sterling in white and a 28' trailer I'd be game.

If I was going to spend that much on a RC Toy I'd go for the Tiger 2, Abrams or Leo2 tank.

[Phantom433a]

oh man....I want one, but I'm to cheap to drop that kind of change......Maybe I'll get my kids a gocart and have a custom truck body made for it....then I can at least laugh at them having fun.

If I am dropping that kind of change I am dropping it on my Sal****er Fish tank sorry I have a 150 gallon reef setup that will blow you away.

I didn't see anyone do a pretrip on that trailer
