Lousy, but well earned reputation, would be my guess. Ever wonder why most things made in China don’t have a recognizable product name on them....

On or off topic…I don’t know. Is this a bobber truck? If it is, for sure not a low buck one! [ATTACH]
Anyone running 1932-18’s in the rear, and 1934-17’s in the front? OR 17’s in the rear, and 16’s in the front?

I don’t think they are off-topic…but some do. So post your slick bobber truck pics here: [ATTACH] Lousy pic… but slick low buck truck. Cost wise,...
Right…B-400 for $35 in Kalifornia!
FYI the pics in your first post, of trucks you like…2 of them look to have sweep type frames. Might be helpful to say where you live…especially...

Note: Bond (Glue), NOT fiberglass it together!
Sooner or later they all go silent!

Brown ones…use a black permanent marker…it’s black and it’s permanent!
Any 1/8 scale model builders ever check out the Vintage Tether Car thread on here? Similar scale, mostly scratch built race car type builds, using...
