Yea, those are 4wd, with steering too, they are very wide, much wider than a SSMT 1/43 axle... guess they would be a good platform for a small scale comp crawler, though. :-o

Yeah I remember those. They were on the market before the ZZ MTs, but I was never interested because they have tank steering.

Yeah, I'm sure. That's why I passed them over when I saw them in Walmart back then.

Hmm, the pic I found over on scale4xrc, shows some steering knuckles... here's them next to a 1/24 model kit body... very, very wide... more for a 1/18 model or something...

Are we talking about the same cars? This is what I'm seeing in the link.

Notice how close the front wheels are to the chassis? I saw them in person, gotta be tank steering.


EDIT: Nope, we're not talking about the same cars.

These are 1/64th, much smaller than what you're talking about.

Ahhh, I see where I went wrong there.

I just glimpsed at the picture, and figured that was it...

When actually, that was it. The 1/32 not the 1/64.

My apologies CD. :-o

Tank steering would be cool, but not much good for crawling or modding
