WTB 1/6 scale vehicles

Post by mav1942 » Tue Dec 01, 2020 3:19 am

My son recently inherited my collection of 12 inch GI Joes and Soldiers of the World, looking for some vehicles to go with them.

I know someone selling a 1:6 M2 Bradely in my area, but he wants $375 for it and shipping from CA would be pricey on something that large.

Just bought a remote control 1/6th jeep off Banggood or such for around $286, it's decent with folding windshield and optional top canvas.
Then you buy a remote controller, battery, charger, transmitter...oh what have I gotten myself into.
My real GPW needs me to do a valve job...need to get busy. :oops:

If your asking about the one I linked too, It looks fine, but all the components I need to use it still haven't arrived.
Need the LiPo batteries and their charger to arrive before it can roll. :cry:

I also got one of the Rochobby 1/6 RC Jeeps. Came complete with everything except LiPO batteries and charger. Looks good for the price. Should have the charger next week and will try it out on some rocky terrain. Got the Jeep off Amazon shipped in 4 days.

For a factory 1/6 Scale RC Jeep it’s worth the $300. You could not build one for that. I have a Armortek 1/6 RC Tiger I I bought at an estate sale......now that is expensive!

I have one of the ultimate soldier 1/6 RC Stuart's I've had for years. Love the thing but the plastic tracks always seem to break one when outside.
