After watching this video of this gorgeous little rig my heart sunk a bit because i had one and i loved it but i never really got any serious use out of it so it sat on my shelf looking preety and accumulated dust for a few months so i decided to just sell it i drove it around and handful of times and its looked dashing with my GIJOES on it but never really could use it the way i wanted to but now i regret selling it lol might get another in the future 👍 nice job mate

Thanks very much 👍 Gutted you sold it. I guess we can't keep everything though and sometimes you've got to make space. It's not the most capable rig but looks fantastic. I love a nice scale rig. They have them on sale again atm I think. 👍

@Hjerte_Verke Ай бұрын

Well that was a fail because it DOES double duty as a display piece. Most of these RC "toys" until now used a brightly neon colored Lexan bubble body with just a hint at looking like a halfway realistic racing buggy, but you wouldn't want to display them because they're so hideous. The MB scaler on the other hand is a work of art and scale fidelity, like an expert-built Tamiya model kit, but also operates and runs. You should buy another Willys MB and also get both the Rochobby Kübelwagen Type 82 and the Beetle Kommandeurswagen Type 87 before they are discontinued!

@AddamsPlayground 3 ай бұрын

@@DoURC The 1/6 scale one is really cool and the bigger figures you can put in there make them more realistic too. The only downside is the coil overs which make it loose some scale credit but it drives a lot better so it is a decent trade off.

@SandJ-Adventures 3 ай бұрын

That's a great looking little Jeep! One of my early subscribers had the 1/6 version that a really wanted! This is a nice compromise! Almost all the same great detail, and Rick fits in nicely! I gather that removing about 3 leaves from the springs, and adding "coilovers" improves the ride quality. A lot of potential for some "customising".......😄

@DoURC 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I'll definitely be making some changes to it. I was surprised how well it moved as the stock leaf setup did feel very stiff. 👍

@Hjerte_Verke Ай бұрын

It beats that 1/6 monstrosity by leaps and bounds. It blows my mind that they had all the more room and ease in 1/6 to create the same level of detail (and more of it) but they didn't and used coil spring and trailing link suspension on the 1/6 MB. They made some detail errors too (the shape of the windshield is wildly off scale/proportions). The 1/12 is absolutely superb though.

Hi, I love seeing this so much. Last year there was a meeting in the Netherlands at RC Planet Crawler and Scalerbaan in Spaarnwoude with many of these types of vehicles (Willy's Day at RC-Planet). At the time it looked like an episode of the television series M.A.S.H.. KZfaq videos were also made of it and can therefore be found (Willy's day at RC-Planet - Willys Jeep 4x4 - Rochobby 1941 MB Scaler). 🆒🎦👌👍👋🍀

I bought that one and the 1/6 scale when they first came out and they were actually cheaper. There was no FMS then. I bought them at Banggood. I was in full addiction mode back then lol. Haven’t used them in a while. But just the other day took the 1/6 jeep out and started weathering it. That’s what I was doing when I started watching your video. They are exactly the same. Except for the chassis. The 1/6 has a true crawler chassis. You will definitely like that more. I put crawler tires on it too. It has a scale engine. That really is just a cover. If I knew you and we lived closer. I would have sold you both at a good price. I really have to get rid of some. lol 😂. Have fun!!

@DoURC 3 ай бұрын

Ah cool, I'd like to do a build with the 1/6 Jeep and the 1/6 Jimny, I think with mods the Jimny can look really cool too. How you getting on with your weathering?

Thanks very much 👍 They're not really listed as a scale, but show as 12-14cm, so about 4.75" 👍 If you search Aliexpress for Walking Dead figures you'll see them. 👍

3:06 The wheels and tires came first on this model and are not "Standard FMS" unless you mean retroactively. The manufacturers, in all their misguided wisdom, decided to reuse these wheels and tires on the 1/12 Land Rover Series II and the 1/12 Toyota FJ45 (neither of which used WWII two-piece combat rims) and once you see it, you can't unsee the error.

🤣 Yeah, but I'm talking about them overall. They use the same wheels and tyres across multiple models, they also use them on the FCX24 just FYI! 😉
