I did at least to my abilities build Hotwheels body's for my Tamiya chassis. The partyvan on tt02D and slash from the toy line attack pack o to the cw01. I think the channel "make it RC" often converts non RC toy to RC. Looks good but the chassis is often not ideal for driving 😅
@@Nordlicht05hell ya i love that channel as well, he is a good guy as well, i was working on a project & needed help and he helped me out, he can turn anything non-RC toy into a great RC vehicle.
Man , they are killing this micro market. When I was a kid I always dreamed of being able to drive my matchbox size cars and trucks like an rc. And here we are. This is epic!👊🏼💯🔥☕️
This is absolutely incredible how packed the tiny truck is! It's not only extremely fun, but also looks very adorable and cool! Love how it drives and the amount of features packed in it, definitely would buy it in the future!
Jeepers Phil, I'm trying to limit my rc purchases, but this is a must have! What a lovely semi you have! ;) I'm going to show mine to my wife & hope she appreciates it too :)
As a diesel mechanic who works on commercial vehicles I WANT ONE! Also I've watched a lot of trailers get backed into slips... You did better than a lot of folks Phil!
I used to do the same thing on gravel haulers. As soon as I saw it I wondered if they would make one with a lead and pup lol. I got my little nephew addicted to Hot Wheels, I think I might get this for him as a Christmas gift to tote them around.
@@riothero313 pick up some small magnets to help the trailer stick to the flatbed, or else its going to come off very easily. I'm going to super glue magnets on the flatbed, and glue magnets under the trailer on my truck. Then itll help stay without being permanent. Since theres also car carrier accessory you can put on as well.
Hi Phil, Just dropped by to say how good I think your channel is. Watch it all the time and its really nice to sit back with a cup of tea and watch you build stuff with your good humour.
And this is why us adults just love toys completely make us feel like a kid again but now we don’t just need imagination to make them move or your hand😂❤
That is a great little semi. The number of features ia amazing. They put so many features I am surprised at the relative low price. I kept thinking of the videos I've seen where hobbyists bring their Tamiya semis and drive them around. They are great, but it would be neat driving one of these around at the meeting and get their reaction.
Fantastic RC semi as we refer to it in the US or articulated lorry depending on which side of the pond you are on. When dealing with real semis, from the look of it, you seem to be having difficulty hooking up the trailer. From my observations in the real world, it appears the trailer landing gear is raised too high. In some cases, when the previous driver drops off a trailer with their rear airbags fully inflated, it can cause issues for the next driver trying to hook up, especially if they have different tire types or truck models that cannot reach that height. This can be quite frustrating. Moving the landing gear can become nearly impossible when the trailer is unattached and even unloaded. In such situations, the owner used a modified truck with the ability to raise its height to facilitate the connection process for the next truck. Upon inspection, it seemed like the kingpin was positioned too high to engage with the fifth wheel. My apologies for the lengthy explanation. I just wanted to share some of my insights with you. Keep up the fantastic work with your videos. I enjoy watching them. I have also started my own RC collection, with a self-built 917 car, a couple of RTR trucks for outdoor use, and a 1:16 scale RC construction vehicle. I have a dozer, an excavator with 3 attachments, a dump truck with a 23-kilo hauling capacity, a loader, a Crain, and another dump truck with a controllable arm with 3 attachments. My grandson and I have fun playing in the sandbox.
there’s smaller because there’s also 1:87th scale trucks (and cars) but I don’t think there are any rtr (ready to run) models besides Carson models they have the classic VW busses some other car and busses Which I really like and recommend 👍
Here in the U.S.A. The average length of a tractor trailer combination is 72 feet long and 13 foot 6 inches tall. Maximum full loaded weight is 80,000 lbs. Subject to change with specialty loads. If you miss your turn. It's not always convenient to perform a U-turn. Plus, it's illegal in most states. Your scale model trying to back up or make turns looks very accurate. With a little modeling skills... This could make for a very nice car hauler.
That's amazing. It really is. Took me back to my childhood playing with lorries. The cab would tip forward like the real thing. Of course had to drive them hands on but this, I'd have loved one. And will love one how as a bloke.
Good Morning my friend. Around April 2024 they have the East Coast Crawler Nationals at Cherokee Rock Village in Alabama it is a excellent event. Please build a truck and come. It would be awesome 😎 to meet you.
Absolutely amazing. I'm so baffled and impressed by the trailer. I guess it has it's own Rx in addition to the battery? What an impressive setup. Definitely checking these tiny cars out this Christmas.
Its not just you Tomley, the steering is really shallow and a complaint of mine. The other only complaint is the trailer and car stands don't stay on the flatbed, it falls off at a slight touch. Perhaps in another revision they could make everything magnetize for a better fitment and have slight more control over which lights you want on or not. Other than that its a feat of engineering and amazing! I'm loving my truck.
As a lorry driver i give it 10 / 10 for details especially horn as this is what us drivers use the most haha May actually be heplfull when practicing for a driving test 🤔
LOL so I saw the thumbnail and I though FFS Mr Tomley why are you gonna show us this POS. Then I saw the indicators, then I saw it run, then I saw the lights, how the trailer hooks up, how it drives and was like. Heck yeah! One of the coolest desk toys I have seen! Thanks for sharing bruh, and yes we call it a lorry, or a wagon or an artic short for articulated but hey, your English you know. My comment was for the heathen masses around the world LOL. Oh, you didn't tell us where to get one or how much they are. Thanks Mr Tomley for another excellent vid.
Nearly flawless Product! i would add one slower speed, more steering angle & make the trailer "locking" remote controlled. (is that the right word for the 'pin' being held or released?...german here🤷♂) otherwise great little Truck!
Pretty sure that these tiny RC trucks were available well over 15 years ago as a friend of my was parallel parking one on his coffee table as we were watching news on TV about the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics and the Canada Line Skytrain construction nightmares which were happening around 2006. The truck had all the usual drive controls plus turn indicators and four way flashers, running lights and back-up lights.
!!!! I need this!!!!!! I drive the real thing, I'd have too much fun with that. I may get our Night time dispatcher one to play with on slower nights! I wish they had a Peterbilt version!
Argggh I went to order one on banggood the other night thinking wow it's cheap but they did there thing we're the price was trailor only new it was to good to be true it's an awesome awesome RC!!! Stadium blitzer looks great my blitzer beetle went brushless and I crashed it hard into my phone tripod...made for a good video!. The kid in you really came out in this video especially your laughs cheers mate 🤟😎
Actually the Keyence Deskrunner 2000 is smaller at 1:87 scale. It is fully proportional like this with lights, turn signals high beams, reverse lights etc. I have one however it's not 2.4 ghz. It has an antenna that sticks out of the transmitter. They were amazing for the year they came out. But I will be buying one of these for sure. Good job with review.
Nice to see the brand making progress. I'd guess they will do a proper 2 deck car transporter trailer someday. Would have been nice to have a forward engine sound. Backing up a trailer around a turn is difficult in my short experience.
I’d choose the black one. It’d be cool if they offered a long nose version vs the cab over. Then you could clone movie or tv trucks like the knight rider semi or Smokey and the bandit. Either way it’s super cool, albeit a bit pricey for something that small
They need to work on the steering. I have several tiny rcs and the ones that don’t have a realistic turning radius get boring very fast. Especially in small spaces like they are intended for.
Ye, yes, this is great!! I forsee impromptu desktop trailer-reversing contests across the globe! Well, across the currently non-combatant areas, anyway. I was impressed, Phil, by your skill when you tucked the trailer so neatly into that quite challengingly small area. I have a whole video on how tricky driving RC artics can be (called, rather brilliantly I thought, "RC semis are hard"), so I think I'm qualified to be impressed.

3 speed transmission on a hotwheels. I am guessing the throttle is controllable not just "on/off" on the motor.-like my stupid (real life) string trimmer for my grass!

That is pretty cool I have to say! All tough the price is a bit high, but at least you get a bunch of functions!

hahahaha.... please do. My Wife was a little disappointed apparently
@@TomleyRC Never mind the size, look at the detail! It's like a real one, even if it's a lot smaller. That's what I tell my wife :)
Tell her it's really 48th scale. They always like when you say it's bigger than it is. 😅
Show her what you paid for it. You can sleep in your car with your new toy
Every time you post these little nuggets I have a huge smile across my face. This one really knocks it out of the park 😍
I haven't wanted an rc or even to mess with one for months... now.. I want one of these...
So much detail for such a small rig that bloody brilliant phil👍🏻
I agree.... crazy they got so much in such a small thing
that's what she said @@TomleyRC
If only I had this when I was a kid....RC vehicles are so cool nowadays!
Freaking rad😂 i never knew I'd ever enjoy watching someone drive a mini semi truck as much as i just did😅 way cool 😎
You need to drive it with the room lights off... get the full effect!! Looks so smart for something so small!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaayyyy Lorry's!! I might be from the USA, but I lived in Britain in my youth and still love the British ways.
I've been building tiny trucks for a while now, but not all wheel drive. I love these!
Man that is brilliant! I see it's not chirpy chirpy cheap cheap, but with all the details and functions it's not too bad.
Yes, so much scale.. I can imagine some more trailer options will be coming, and keeping my fingers crossed for some construction stuff!
@@TomleyRC Heh, but even if you make a 76th scale M25 it'll still need to be half a mile in diameter!!!
the absolute best tiny RC I've ever seen
Turbo racing made my childhood dream come true - Micro Machines in real life!
The UK’s No 1. Micro RC Car Channel. This guys gonna need a bigger house to store all his awards.
As a diesel mechanic who works on commercial vehicles I WANT ONE! Also I've watched a lot of trailers get backed into slips... You did better than a lot of folks Phil!
I used to do the same thing on gravel haulers. As soon as I saw it I wondered if they would make one with a lead and pup lol. I got my little nephew addicted to Hot Wheels, I think I might get this for him as a Christmas gift to tote them around.

Very nice and desirable 😍 When i was a kid (in 70's), toys were for kids, now it seems that toys are for the parents !
Hi Phil, Just dropped by to say how good I think your channel is. Watch it all the time and its really nice to sit back with a cup of tea and watch you build stuff with your good humour.

Me old mate Tim had a small semi .... we used to call him tiny todger tim .😊
I LOVE a tiny semi!! 🚛 🤏
😂
don't we all!
I feel like this R/C Truck is just as or more realistic than a 1:10 scale truck!
proportional steering and proportional acceleration are absolutely mandatory for every rc for it to be enjoyable
That is a great little semi. The number of features ia amazing. They put so many features I am surprised at the relative low price. I kept thinking of the videos I've seen where hobbyists bring their Tamiya semis and drive them around.

This just shows what is possible. I hope every other rc company is taking notes.
Saturday morning RC review from Tomley's RC? Count me in! Almost as good at Saturday morning cartoons. Where is my cereal?
I just dont understand how they can physically build such small rcs. They must have tiny hands

The "do-de-de-da-de-do" soundtrack made it very trucky.
haha
Tomalley couldn't have said it better myself..."Put the indicators on a switch and we will all be happy!"
Ok, that is brilliant. Some kind of layout diorama would be awesome to drive that thing through.

They need to bring out a long bonnet Kenworth , Optimus Prime 🤔
The truck looks so good. I'm always with you on the indicators!
This truck is sick and very fun to watch you drive I would love to see it in the dark, also it would be nice if you got more detailed ones like this!
Add just a tad bit of weight to the trailer. I bet it will reverse better
I would love to see a tanker truck with a pump and a hose to add a shot of whiskey into my drink. 😂
Good review .Turbo Racing continues to impress .
I'm definitely picking one up for my channel. Another great video.!
I like this review. This is how you suppose to play rc cars instead of bashing things around.
You’re supposed to do whatever you want with them as long as you have fun doing it
Nearly flawless Product!

a crazy idea but try them on a hot wheels track

I had one, with infrared remote, it was even smaller. 2005 around.
You forgot one important detail- they didn’t have proportional control- I had them and it was a bloody nightmare 😂
You're so lucky, I'm getting my CDl, I wanted to get one to practice backing maneuvers, alley dock, offset, straight back, but they're $160, so cool.
It's certainly a cool lorry.. hoping they do some different styles
This is soooo bloody awesome!!!

They definitely missed the opportunity to add little truck sounds for regular driving, if be happy to sacrifice 5% of the run time for the sounds
