The SST 2000, receiving yearly upgrades to improve handling and performance would receive a new moniker in 1999, aptly labeled the SST '99 Pro. Upgrades to the chassis, suspension and driveline over the previous year SST '98 were detailed by Schumacher in their full-page ads: 1999 Schumacher SST 99 ...

Admirable attempt on a Complex paint job. On the plus side... There wasn't any real bleed through between colors. +1 on the dislike of window nets. Bet it would have looked really pretty backed in white. Taping some cellophane to a scrap wood frame makes for super cheap practice panels... if you ign...

1999 saw lots of new in Schumacher's lineup ads. The Fireblade Evo, SST Axis Pro, and Nitro 21 XT were all updated from their previous iterations for the '99 model year.

Duratrax advertising tires and electronics and other cool stuff in 1990:

Never one to leave well enough alone, Duratrax found a way to fuel the desires of early 90's gas truck racers.


One of my all-time favorite ads, the image of engine swapping an RC10T like it was a full size truck was just captivating.

Going from gas conversion kits for stadium trucks to the opposite side of the spectrum with the DuraTrax GT-10 gas powered on road race car:

A blue chassis, fluorescent green spur gear, hot pink gasket, Reed Mr. motor AND a Hydra-Drive?... so much cool in such a small space... very neat build.

Very cool...

Fixed all the rips and tatter on the ad and posted it up with the first ad. Removing the tape from the right side was a lot of fun!

Really appreciate you uploading it.

RIght? All day I was like, "Anyone got a comb?"

In 1993 Model Rectifier Corporation brought their "World Scale" to market with the MRC Thunder King. Offered as a larger option to 1/10 scale trucks the kit featured a pressed aluminum chassis, fiberglass shock towers, aluminum oil filled shocks and was sold with twin 540 motors and a mech...

Short answer: 1/8th scale Long answer: The Nitro Thunder King was advertised as 1/8th scale and shared the same 14 inch wheelbase as the electric Thunder King and Baja King "World Scale" trucks... which, like 1911Colt mentioned, never had a fractional scale listed. The math on the wheelbas...

What possessed them to lop off the back? There must be a reason. No one butchers a classic without a reason. Was this an original body for a kit that came in a very small box? :lol: Next up: a 57 Chevy with no tail fins. :lol: A daughter's helping her mom cook a ham. The mom cuts off and bastes bot...

The Ironman 1/10th scale truck was one of three models (Ironman, Hammerhead, Vortex) released by Model Rectifier Corporation in 1997 that rode on a lower cost version of their MT-10 platform. Under the new Dodge Ram body the Ironman shared the molded plastic chassis, plastic oil filled shocks, and p...

Truck looks RED-iculously good! Great score on the wheels... and the tires too. LOVE a tall spike on a stadium truck.
