A Very Odd Thought 2

[DMAXX999]

I posted a while about which r/c motor would be compared to real life motors. Now here is another question, Which r/c truck would you compare your monster truck to? Judging by what i see in pic in the posts, (by body styles) I see that savage owners like chevys and tmaxx owners like f-150s.
But barring body styles which r/c truck would be considered a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Datsuns :p , etc,etc.

[r.c.dealer]

The ford, chevy, and dodge would be considered a Savage. The srt 10 would be a EK4, or genesis. Datsun, would be the Mega Force. An old Toyota 4x4 would be kind of like the 4x4 QRC series from kyosho (small, underpowered, yet reliable).




Or something :D

I'd say a clod is like a dodge the mayor of truckville. lol

:p traxxas-BUILT FORD TOUGH!!!! :p

[Ferrari_Spyder]

srt 10 would be a EK4

***???!!! :eek: how do you figure?

ek4 = gravedigger

srt-10 = nitro mini-t

Tmaxx is built Ford tough??? that's not exactly a ringing endorsement for Ford is it?:D

[jabberjaw]

when i think of ford i think found on road dead or
fix or repair daily

How about the Mammoth as an SRT-10? The Clod is a '73-'87 Chevy pickup. It's a solid and fun workhorse stock, and can be transformed into an INSANE machine w/ aftermarket or custom parts...The T-Maxx w/ the 2.5 is kinda like a Ford Lightning, relatively small displacement (compared w/ the SRT-10), but still amazingly fast, and a capable handler. The Savage is more like the new F-150, you know, the one that's supposed to be amazingly powerful, but in reality is just so so, and gets absolutely left in the dust by the Hemi powered Dodges and the Nissan Titans. It's still a solid truck, but it needs an engine swap (in the Savage's case) or at least engine mods (in the F-150's case) to release it's full potential. As for where the Silverado/Sierra and the Tundra fit in, that's anybodies (sp?) guess.

traxxas rustler = old subaru.

You should watch Car & Driver TV's truck comparison show. The F150 they were testing was launched over a sand dune, the truck nose dived almost verticaly (literally) into the sand and didn't do any damage to the truck. The Car and Driver editors were amazed that there was no damage. Thats a 6,000 pound truck, landing face first on its front bumper and part of the grill with no damage, if thats not tough what is?

Serpent and Yokomo- Bmw's and Mercedes and other luxury cars.
Traxxas- Hyundai, Honda, Toyotoa
Savage- Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Big trucks :)

I saw that one and every other truck they tested did the same thing. The Nissan Titan won anyway...

really? i think first on race day... or feeds on rock dinners

maybe the original t-maxx was crap but not the new one.....

[Sniper5904]

Here's how i take the veichles as:

Savage = Nissan, or Toyota due to the savage being japanese
T-maxx = Ford due to american design
TNX = Nissan, Or toyota, pretty obvious
CEN = ?!?
OFNA = something Chinese because we all know Hao Boa (sp) builds their veichles... and Chinese veichles, well lets just say my uncles Chinese jeep could easily fall apart through just pushing on a door panel (litterally)

Does this speak for efficiency? perhaps... I won't name names, crap nvm...

[DMAXX999]

Ofna Titan (single engine)-Nissan Titan
CEN-mazda b2000 or jeep comanche

Madforce should be the new Dodge srt-10 because the srt-10 is the fastest production truck(not for long because when the new Ford Lighting comes out its going to kick ;) ;) ) and the Mad force is the fastest r/c truck(big-block) today!!!

[metalry101]

^^^ Umm, not quite...Seen a Mammoth run? It'll smoke a Mad Force w/ the stock engine. Imagine it w/ an RB .28. That'll eat any Mad Force for breakfast...

LMAO! i just noticed that!

Wrong, every other truck did not do the same thing. The Dodge crept slowly down the dune, and the other trucks didn't do anything close to what they did with the Ford. The Nissan won do to faster acceleration, nice try though, you may want to get your facts staight before you make a responce. :rolleyes:

[Fantom 15 gt]

RC10GT=Toyota Hilux

As compared to a Chevy; like a rock...what do rocks do? They sit very still and don't do anything :p

[lerningdriver]

^^ lol, good one.

[Spoon37]

come on Tamiya has to be ford of the RC world:

they get everywhere
everyone has one
no one can beleive it when you make one faster than their *insert other brand here*

etc ;)

and by the way savage is not a one model brand, its made by HPI who do lots of lil sedans, and some slightly bigger sedans......

and if were on to acronyms, hows about the old fave: MOPAR = Mostly Old Parts And Rust

:D

[repete]

my favorite acronym is FORD...f***in old rebuilt dodge
