GI Joe Classified HISS Tank? GoolRC R/C Crawler Ripsaw 1/12 Scale Tank Review

Check out the GoolRC R/C Crawler Ripsaw Tank! We picked this up to see if it's compatible with GI Joe Classified as a HISS Tank. The performance of this 2.4Ghz high-speed drift tank is really great, though too small to fit a GI Joe Classified figure, though it works better with a 3 3/4" GI Joe A Real American Hero figure.

if mattel made a warthog for their 6 in halo they'd be rich cause all of us classified collectors would be making them into vamps and stingers.I can't believe they haven't jumped on that yet...easy money.

It also converts to a fairly tolerable modernized Wolverine, if you mount a pair of missile pods in the back. They also make a white one for the Arctic. Modifying it to work for GI Joe Classified is 10 minutes work if you have a Dremel tool. Flip it over and unscrew the battery hatch. There are two sections in the molded top of the battery compartment that are the floor of the cab. Cut them out. This gives the figures enough leg room. Plus it still seals up black as it’s inside the battery compartment.

I bought this in white, for Star Wars 6 inch storm troopers, was easy to cut the plastic away from the dash to make leg room . Then removed gull wing doors and attached them to the roll bars with zip ties .

When it comes to vehicles for 6" figures, I typically go with what's labeled as a 1/10 scale or something intended for larger figures. A few years ago, I got some 1/10 scale convertibles and Lamborghinis RC vehicles from Burlington coat factory that were in the $25-$35 range. Other than that, 1/12 scale ATVs can sometimes work, even if they have a fixed figure in the seated position on it, as they can typically be removed with relative ease.

This is super helpful. Makes a lot of sense. I’m learning quite a bit about scale and what can work. Not gonna lie, I was pretty disappointed at first with this, but it’s still a fun toy.

@@FanboyCantina I saw a vid within the last week talking about the potentially "best" gi joe classifieds scaled jeep ever. It ended up being a 1/10 scale RC jeep being sold on Amazon for ~$68. The review illustrated various displays using those figures and even customized one by painting it black and supergluing some weapons on it for cobra figures' use. They had links in the description to the item being sold on Amazon and eBay.

I've always opted for 2 figures, 1 standard then the other chopped off at the knee for seating in the vehicle, most have been Batman related so the guy with no knees gets his cape chopped too, enough fabric to see he's sat on something but not enough to get in the way, I love this Buzzsaw but it's a toss up for me between this and Mattel's The Batman B-mobile

@FanboyCantina 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! No I haven’t found an r/c in the right size yet. I suspect it has to be more than 1/12 scale.

@RexRenart 2 жыл бұрын

In fact the vehicle is in the right proportion, it's just the interior that is not in the right size, I think. After that I'll see personally because I ordered one to make a custom crawler with accessories in 1/12 scale so I'll see if it's really in 1/12 scale. But I still have big doubts, if your figure is really 1/12, it should be at the same height as the ripsaw, but I don't think it's the case. Good review by the way.

@stevenboyd3756 3 жыл бұрын

Good review. That's a nice RC vehicle. For some reason the company mislabled the scale. That's really for 1/18 figures. You can try the old Halo Warthog from Mcfarlane toys, though.

@@FanboyCantina Could you do some modding to the interior, maybe cut into some of what is in there to make room for a 6 inch figure or would that cut into the RC aspects of it? Most of these RC vehicles people have been using they have had to do a fair amount of customizing to to accommodate their Classified Joe figs.

@FanboyCantina 2 жыл бұрын

I think it could be possible, but potentially at the expense of the R/C mechanics inside. It’s under scaled, though passable, for a 1/12 vehicle, but really it fits a 1/18 figure better.

@ucitymetalhead 2 жыл бұрын

I bet if you modified the front end it could be a single person vehicle for classified figures from other videos i seen that it has plenty of open space on the front just needs different seats and a divider cut out.

@FanboyCantina 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, with carving the interior and modifications, you probably could shove a GIJoe Classified figure in the cockpit. It might not be right, but close enough since the HISS is a single driver. I think it’s better for GIJoe ARAH. If it pops on sale on Amazon and someone’s willing to put the effort, it’d be cheaper than if Hasbro was to make a proper GI Joe Classified HISS Tank.
