Cool toys! Ive been considering getting into Scale Radio Controlled 4x4's. Yall should do some google searches on it! Its alot less expensive than our normal toys.
 
Yeah except the price! there about the size of a matchbox but cost around$25 for the decked out ones. Although.. I cant say much I paid quite a bit for my Johnny Lightning FJ45 "matchbox" style truck. It is very detailed though. Hood even opens and motor looks real!
looking to get one of these when they are released in Aug.

I looked at those on the other toy thread. They remind me of STOMPERS when I was a kid.

I still have a couple of gen 2 that look like this and some of the older gen 1 style.

That brings back memories. I had a bunch of Stompers when I was a kid. Mine were the ones with the tall skinny foam rubber tires. They would climb just about everything.

scored 2 more of the dark blue 40's at wally world last night. Cant help myself. Every time I see one I have to get it. I'm still looking for the limited edition green fj40 that matchbox has out. Think its a lesney edition.

I just picked up another dk. blue 40 at wally world tonight, too.
 
I drilled out the rivets to get the tubs off. The bib and the tab on the back had to be filed dow a little. The under carriage from the mbx buggy fit onto the 40 tub pretty easy. I had to re shape the rear wheel wells to fit the bigger tires. Got to love a dremel tool. A little glue and all set. Added a roof rack I cut off a donor matchbox.
