Okay, that is seriously Awesome!

I see a Trash Haulers Series in the works! Maybe include Cement Mixers too!

After your comments, I sanded 1/16" or more off the bottom edge of the box... To clear DRAG TRACKS finish...

Maybe have the trash haulers series run a 57 g or more limit, as you may use a metal body-metal base combo... and there is plenty of room to hide weight... careful, DRAG TRACKS finish is 1.30" tall !

Hey smitty you know what might make this an even meaner look trash truck? Put the exhaust stacks on. On the sides right where the trash part meets the cab. Just some 2 cents I wanted to throw in. 


  • agreed... i would have but they are too thick, need to look around.. — model40fan

Smitty, I found one of these as well...couldn't keep it in one piece...easy drilling plastic body and engine.kept the pipes, but lots of choppin on this one. lowered rear axle, smaller wheels, flat bed,

Just a thought for this thread...if you a search on ebay for DCP (Die Cast Promotions) truck parts, or DCP Peterbilt, you will find some cool stuff. The trucks are way pricey... $50, just for a truck, no trailer.  But, they are really nice 1/64 scale trucks! And a lot of guys do custom rigs, so parts trucks are out there!

Found some exhaust stacks for the garbage truck.

MBX Torque Titan. They are flat on the inside. Might glue right on the side.


  • been thinking of using leads solder from a spool, can file grooves into them as shields... — model40fan
  • check out $1 mini screw driver handles at the dolla store. — model40fan
  • Your aluminum axle tubed would be a scale 4" exhaust....might work — 72_Chevy_C10
  • Hmmmmmmmmm....... — model40fan

Do we want a "Trash Master Series" ? ... Garbage trucks only ? ...Y or N... weight limit ?  _ _ _ grams ...

wheels  _ _ _ _ _  ...


  • Saw some MBX street sweepers yesterday... would they count?? — CrzyTrkrDude

I could be talked into a build..... ( not the vintage orange one. Best find of the day. Got it for a buck!! Man, I feel bad, but I love it when the guy is short when the booth rent is due!!) but definetly the red one for sure.  :)

I say, MINI FTE only.  (Might help keep the height low enough.)   MINIMUM of 100 grams ( make those wheels work hard like in real life.)

Give us 2 months to build.  And count me in for sure!!

You know I'd build a garbage truck racer, Smitty...I'm thinking in the 65-75 gram range. They could be heavier, I just don't like going over that much.

Lots of cool trucks out there!
