New diecast master western star tri axle semi

[Hazzardcars]

Just seeing if anyone else has looked at or bought one of the diecast master tri axle semi trucks. Got one about a week ago. Pretty fun. Not a truck I'd run in the dirt because it gets stuck on thick air. Super realistic and can haul a lot more then the 11 pounds they say.

First time I've seen it, good looking rig for sure!

Seen it before, but the price! I may get serious when I move to 1/14 with tamiya semis.

I wanted to get a king hauler, but 500 for just a truck vs 500 for a ready to run truck and trailer won me over pretty quick! Although someday I'd like to get a king or grand hauler.

One day, I'm gonna build a couple 1/14 warehouses. Complete with interiors, a removable roof, shelving, and forklifts with FPV. I am gonna custom build and even print trailers, I already printed a single axle pup. Gonna hopefully have this with my crawling course and scale truck course.

That would be sweet! I have a sand pit in the back yard that I've been working on to make a gravel pit for my growing excavation rcs, and a spot for me and my kids crawlers. I would like to build a flat bed and a box trailer for this western star. Also kinda want to ditch the headache rack and find a way to mount a sleep cab on it

Sounds like fun.

It's 1/16 scale. Truck is 2 feet long. Those are cool. I'd love to get a 3d printer some day

Is that a EazyRC 1/18 on the trailer?

It is pretty spot on to a real k10. Only thing I don't like is the steering. I've seen brick houses turn better then these things. Other then that it will crawl over just about anything within reason. One thing I would recommend if you get one, is to swap out the plastic diff gears for metal ones. Makes a world of difference
