Well, after pcsguy88 decided to bite the bullet and get the 1:16 M-ATV MRAP kit for his JoyToy army, I figured I'd try the bigger brother, the MaxxPro.
Yes.. yes.. it's too big, but these things are huge anyway, so hopefully it doesn't look to comically oversized with the JoyToy & Joe figures. The M-ATV seemed to look pretty believable in pictures, so here's hoping.
Here's a cool video on assembling the beast.
It's not supposed to arrive for like 2 weeks, and then we'll be right in the middle of moving, but hopefully I can tackle the project in June. It'll be a nice distraction from everything else. Will post pics/updates as it happens!

earlier this year, maybe January or February. I didn’t receive it until mid to late June. There were numerous loose pieces floating around in the box and a bolt was missing from the front end. After weeks of correspondence with a customer service guy in Germany I got the missing bolt (odd sized) 🫠 I finally put it all back together and offer you some pictures of the vehicle and my observations. As you can see from the Marauders figure it is big enough to hold 1:18 figures and look okay. The truck has heft because it is RC and besides the motor there is a big battery in the rear area. The mirrors and handrails etc are fragile and will not take slamming into kitchen tables with grace. The motor is underpowered and when you gas it the truck will slowly respond and then burst into full steam which if you are in a small area makes driving it very difficult and anxiety inducing. You are constantly going from full throttle to full braking mode 🫣 Also did I mention that small parts can be easily snapped off just picking the truck up wrong to move it around. It is a delicate model with RC capabilities. I plan on putting a larger motor in it and upgrading the outside to make it more crash proof. Having said all that I still like this thing enough that I didn’t want to return it to the seller. It has great potential in the right hands, I hope this helps others out a wee bit in making your decision on ever buying the RC version.
