Revell 1:87 RC Model Truck

[arch2b]

i was browsing ebay as usual and came across this:

RC Modell Truck 1:87 / HO Revell 24158 Item number: 7307336805

maybe some of the EU guys can translate?

Ferngesteuerter RC Truck im Maßstab 1:87 / HO. Komplett mit allen notwendigen Batterien und Fernbedienung. AGB´s siehe meine Mich Seite. Ein Angebot vom Modellbauparadies. Hauptstr. 5 29389 Bad Bodenteich. Inge Wilske

I will do my very best

Radio controlled truck, scale 1:87. Complete with all the necessary batteries and the controller. An offer from Modellbauparadies ("model building paradies", just the name of the shop and it's address).


The truck is only digital. The steering works with coil's like the standard bit's. The motor is much bigger then the bit motors, but very strong. The car runs with 3 AAA batteries installed in the trailer. The pcb is in the trailer as well.

Here are some more pics of the truck.

The truck is usually sold for 12 Euro at hobby shops. The auction is not a bargain.

diets - not too bad, but is it worth the shipping costs?

[arch2b]

thank you for the information.

i dont' think they would be worth the shipping cost to get to the united states

in terms of lorrys like this, its probly better to go with the Herpa one....

I know this thread is old... but Kyosho makes a 1/80 scale truck too.. and there is alway Keyence if you want full propo

(I think the Kyosho is Propo too)

The Kyosho R/C Bus Series is only digital, 3 frequencies are available. No changable quartz.

But you can make a kyosho bus tuning with a standard servo, lipo and a Mini-Z-PCB. Done by microsash and only in german as usual.

The original pcb is huge (no smd parts, conventional electronic).

There is also an R/C Truck series from Kyosho

The Keyence Desk Runner series is extremly expensive. They are based on Herpa Trucks, as far as i know.


diets - hasn't found the official pages

Here is the Keyence

[micro-rc-guy]

If it will be cheaper to buy from the uk , i found a stockist .
There are some IR and some RC , the controller looks very hard to use.There is not much info on this site , but they are 10pounds wich isnt that bad . It must be OK quality due to being revell.

Scroll down.

I was looking at these because i cant afford a TTT , too bad they dont make some nice military ones like man5t and unimogs i could have had a non-propo ttt .

The keyence is very expensive 1:87 truck , fully propo even with reversing flashers , indicators , l

Shipping is YIKES!!! from hobbies-plus.co.uk.

Two Trucks = $17.71 USD
Shipping = $103.33 USD

Seems pretty steep. I have shipped stuff I have sold on ebay that weights more that those trucks to Europe for less than $10.

I found them listed on on Amazon.de
Amazon.de for $7.80 USD.

Amazon.de won't ship to me in the U.S.

I like that infrared Peterbuilt.... I wish that Revell would make milttary trucks too... obviously they see that there is an interest in the super small scale trucks

[Ziptar]

I just purchased 2 of the Revell R/C and 1 I/C Trucks from someone in Belgium that didn't charge an arm and a leg for shipping. I need to go wire the Money today.

I'll post more info and some pictures when I receive the trucks.

It's not TTTT but, I figure I needed to get my feet wet with 1/87 R/C Some how.

I have an Idea of modding one of the R/C trucks onto an Athearn 1:87 Mack B Tractor w/40' Trailer The Mack B Cab is much Smaller than the Revell so i don't know if it'll work, if the electronics are in the Trailer on the Revells then I might have a Chance.

I'll just be modding the two trucks together but, I figure It's a good way to learn and get used to working on such small stuff.


Also in Looking around I came across these RC Mini Tank and Container Trucks They look pretty small, althought they say they are 8" longs so I don't know as they are 1/87" or HO Scale. I emailed a seller on ebay that was selling similar ones and he claims they are 1/87. I may pick one or two up to check out. If they truly are 1/87 scale at $7.99 they might be a super cheap source of TTTT Parts.

Hi ,

I would be very greatfull if you could post some pictures and details of those truck when you get them , as I have been tempted to order a few for some time.

I also need to find my feet with 1/87 and would like to buy maybe 3 of these , 2 to make fully propo , Lights all round to add some good fun , possibly make some trailers and stuff to hitch up to.

So pics/review/details would be VERY much appreciated

[Ziptar]

I don't know as I will be getting them now. The seller wanted me to have the monet wired to him but, my bank was going to charge me $70 for the wire. I contacted him and ask if I could pay another way.. He said he would setup a paypal account, I haven't heard from him since..

[micro-rc-guy]

thats a shame , Maybe I will just have to take the plunge and order them from the link I posted above , let my nan in england receive them , and bring them out in 2weeks when she visits me here in New Zealand.

Hmmm........

[Ziptar]

Well.... I got them.. they were on my doorstep when I got home tonight.

They are neat but, I won't have the time for hobbies anytime soon and I am going to need a new engine for my truck soon so.. It will be a while before I have the $$$ for TTTT stuff.

I'll sell these if anyone is interested. My cost is $36 a piece with the shipping from belgium. I will sell them for my cost plus shipping to you.

I have 1 North American Van Lines I/C Peterbuilt and
2 of the R/C trucks. they are both the Amsterdam Model

If you need references my ebay ID is ziptar and Iso is my heatware ID I take Paypal.. Send me a PM or reply to this post.

I also have a 1/87 R/C ABF Freightlines truck, it is a promotional box and is new, neat truck. I can sell that one for $25 plus the shipping.

Let me know, I'll hang onto them for a coule of days before I ebay them..
