This is the coolest toy truck I have ever seen. It's a hand built Peterbilt model, strong enough to pull a pickup truck with the operator standing on the back of the model truck!!! AWESOME!
The truck is all hand built at 1:4 scale, powered by a 12V battery, has a mini compressor, real trumpet horns, a smoke machine and a crazy 1200 watt sound system that can rock your neighborhood. There are books and plans available in the comment section of the video on youtube if you want to build one yourself:
I WANT ONE!!!

Aw, boys and their toys. So cute. Except it's only pulling an SUV.  I'm sure that makes it easier.... >'Kat |

Not bad for 12 volts. My e-bike is 24 volts and couldn't do that.

VERY cool!
These giant-scale R/C toys are a rich man's delight! There's a whole genre of them out there. A fellow has resurrected the old Conley 1/4-scale Chevy V8 engine, taking it to a new level of exact scale... Even makes a fabulous T-Bucket roadster for it. A fully-functioning street-rod in quarter-scale. The little V8 even SOUNDS scale!
Of course, it costs as much as a decent car... LOL! Around here, we even have radio-control pilots flying quarter-scale fighters powered by multiple scale functioning turbo-jet engines the size of fire-extinguishers. They fly SO fast and cover SO much territory they have to have on-board cameras with the pilot on the ground seeing what he'd see from the cockpit on a monitor... And a GPS system to be sure the plane goes where it's supposed to go...
All that fun for around a quarter-million bucks! Ah, the old adage about men and boys and the price of their toys...
Sadly, with all the terrorism and "drone fever" the authorities are really cracking down on these wild model planes. But the super-scale cars and trucks are good to go!
Keep the shiny side up, and watch out for that bear in the air...

I always wanted a good gas powered remote control car. The hobby shop down by my house had a 6' jet with a real jet engine .I'm not sure what kind it was , may an f14 or something . but it was 10,000 bucks and that was about 15 years ago . |

I can think of a better use for a small turbojet engine:
