Monster Truck Madness – Cross R/C Announces a Tractor?
Hello everybody and Happy Thursday!
So Cross R/C introduced a product that’s a bit out of left subject, however one which I’m VERY excited for- an r/c farm tractor!
The Cross R/C Ironbull TL4 Tractor. The photograph above is from the Cross RC Facebook web page, and you will discover a video asserting the tractor right here.
Not a variety of information is on the market on it in the meanwhile, however it appears candy!
I’m pumped. A working scale farm tractor has been on the high of my r/c request checklist. As a full measurement tractor nut, I’ve typically questioned the previous couple of years as scale building tools / trucking has completely blown up how scale farm tractors nonetheless aren’t a factor, however fortunately that appears to be altering.
LESU just lately introduced their very own farm tractor, the 1/16 Aoeu 1050, awhile again. Admittedly I’m not very acquainted with that model. 1/16 additionally appeared prefer it was a bit small for the worth too, IMO. I perceive that 1/16 is an important scale for farm toy collectors and it’s additionally not wildly out of scale for these into r/c building, however for me it didn’t actually do it.
The photograph above compares the Ironbull to a Cross R/C AT4, which is a 1/10 scale scale crawler. It appears large subsequent to it, so I’d guess we’re round 1/8-ish in scale and as somebody who’s main curiosity in constructing one among these tractors is to have enjoyable mulling about with it round the home within the backyard, I respect the larger measurement.
In the video you possibly can see what appears like a pull-behind wagon and a entrance dozer blade. You may see what appears like a 3 level hitch on the again, so hopefully another implements shall be provided like a plow.
Cosmetically, a licensed John Deere or Case IH would’ve been actually cool, however it appears ok!
I’m an enormous fan of Cross RC merchandise. I like my HC-6 converted logging truck. The factor is an absolute monster. I’ve buddies that personal a BC-8 Mammoth and UC-6 that are each full beasts. A BC-8 is excessive on my bucket checklist of r/c autos to personal, the truth is. Because of my expertise with the model, I’ve confidence that the Ironbull goes to a variety of enjoyable. I look ahead to finally constructing one!
No ordering or pricing information is on the market as of the writing of this, however Cross R/C is anticipated to put up that data quickly!
Ok, that’s it for me this week. Until subsequent time, preserve it on all 4’s!
