Looking for real scale pickup kit
I'm looking for a realistic scale model of nitro pickups (Ford f-150, Toyota Tundra, Dodge Ram etc) in a kit form. I've looked everywhere but cant find any, any help would would be appreciated.

yeh, youd need to do it custom. iv seen a custom chassis, with the nitro motor up front and rear drive that had a scale looking body mounted on it. the chassis had been made with the idea of a scale look in mind.

I think HPI makes a couple 1/10 body shells. Then get maybe a RS/4 of some type and look for a OS .12 LD. That engine is confiquired to lay down (LD). There getting hard to find,but their still around. You could fab a rear exit pipe for scale looks, it would lack power but I'm guessing that's not important.
Here's the engine installed on a Kyosho FW-04
