Dragon 1/6 RC jeep conversion
Recently I have been working on an RC conversion for the Dragon 1/6 Jeep, this is its first test run so is early on in development there have been a few changes made along the way with a few more to do.
First test film.

That's very cool Mark! That has to be a very large Jeep in 1/6!!
Got any suggestions to RC the Tamiya static Kubel in 1/16? I have no gear and just the static kit.

RE: Dragon 1/6 RC jeep conversion
Thanks for the interest chaps.
Karel, a Pershing would have to be a full scratch build though I do have an idea what it will be painted like when completed.
Panther, the only thing I could suggest is looking at some RC cars in a similar scale the main thing you want it the width wheel to wheel the length can always be altered to suit that or try and find an RC Kubel, I know they are rare and expensive when they do turn up.
Pershing, the MP44 is full scale though it’s not real it’s an airsoft replica and hard to find.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I also need to find the REAL cross county tires/wheels for the Eduard Schwimmwagen.
I don't think the resin ones I have will stand up to RCing.

Jeff, unfortunately there are no 1/16 wheels for the Schwimmwagen not the cross country type these are not even available in 1/6 and they just don’t look right with the standard width wheels and tyres

So, thanks for caring and please sell one of your kits to Herman. The man needs a Schwimmwagen badly!!

Hey guys, awesome work on the dragon jeeps. I'm looking for an RC dragon or G.I. Joe jeep in 1/6 scale to use for towing my 1/6 scale RC P-38. I think that would be the max but don't have time to convert one myself. Hope to interest someone in selling me one or building me one bone stock with stock tires. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks much.

I have a GI Joe Jeep with trailer I would be willing to part with. I'm thinking about $50 plus postage. If you're interested, tell me where you are and I'll post a couple photos for you to look at. When I get home from work, that is. This is a very basic Jeep, hence the low price. That's also why I offer photographs because I want you to see exactly what you're getting if you are interested.
