Race Transporter.

DISCLAIMER: I in no way claim to have built this model but I am proud to own it. It was built by a good friend of mine Waki Chaplin as a birthday present. We always joked that if I kept racing my HARM 1/5th scale R/C Car and we won Lotto we would by a truck and go racing full time with Waki driving the truck.

Some more pics

Sorry about the poor quality of a couple of these. Did something wrong with the camera.
The trailer is from the Italeri Mercedes Race Transporter and a lot of the interior is from a kids playset.




Car is a 1/5th Scale HARM Pro Race car with 4 wheel Hydraulic brakes, race tuned pipe, Tuned clutch and Adjustable diff.
Body is a Honda Accord painted to look like Aussie Legend Dick Johnsons EL Ford Falcon V8 Supercar.
Was awesome to drive - like a Go kart without sitting in it.

The truck and trailer is I believe 1/24th. Well the trailer definitely is - not sure on the truck but the wheel diameter is the same.
The last pic is of my 1/5th Scale R/C car - it was 36 inches (Approx 1 metre) long and weighed in at about 25.5 pounds(or 11.5 kg) and was capable of 80 to 90 kph in a straight line but with the hydraulic brakes it would stop without locking up the wheels in about 26 feet (8 metres)from that speed. still which I hadn't sold it but then I guess I wouldn't be back building models myself would I!
