The Best Scale RC Builds of 2021

[@smallfact0ry921]

Just a small sample of all the amazing stuff that’s happening on the forum. The social media format is good for certain things, but not for rc: being able to follow along with a build allows you to learn so much and really appreciate the soul that’s in these builds.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I totally agree that the forum is perfect for being able to showcase your builds step by step and allows people to follow along and learn!

[@branchsnapper2228]

That teal dodge ram is stunning, and seeing it drive through that miniature landscape, just magical

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's a great truck. Thanks for watching!

[@turksandjerps]

I tried to Dodge finishing my build but instead, I Rammed it into completion. Thank you for the feature!

[@scalebuildersguild]

We should really get you on a Livestream again Richard, so you can show these builds off.

[@turksandjerps]

@@scalebuildersguild Sounds great! I’ll tell my mom. She’s a big fan of yours.

[@slebdad]

Great looking truck!

[@charliegarrison9688]

As someone who ones an 85' dodge ram the accuracy of the interior and body lines are astounding good job!

[@jerrywong563]

The body gaps on the Range Rover is dead on, amazing builds.

[@RadioReprised]

The last Toyota does exist.....we had one! The conversions were done by a company named Sparlingco. Ours was a factory blue and was great back in 82 when there weren't ''Extra Cab'' trucks from the factory. We also had a 80 4x4 pick up with a ''4Runner'' style conversion as well.

[@karlienicole2617]

“Back in time 80’s movie” bravo good sir 👍🏽

It's Emmett "Doc" Brown anyway, not Scott. ;) Of course from the movie trilogy "Back to the future". :)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@Justin_Newman]

The camper Toyota was built for Alaskan pipeline workers as a truck they could sleep in I’ve seen one in person and it blew my mind so I did some research. They are very expensive to get your hands on and now a complete collectors item

[@johnt8577]

That FJ60 with Dr. EMMET Brown, looks great!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sorry, I know my “Back in Time 80’s Movie” characters, and Dr Scott and Marvin were very good friends from 1975.

[@turksandjerps]

Emmet who? It’s Doctor Scott Brown, great Scott the great Doctor! Martin McFlea caught a backhand in the movie for addressing him incorrectly.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I was truly impressed with the calibre of work this year again!

[@hamotec-hanulveen]

I love the yellow Duallie Toyota. It's a piece of art.

[@frankbob4043]

Love the last Toyota. The irony of that Hilux, there was a California conversion company back in the late 70's and 80's that built strecthed frame Toyota pickups for work crews. Elsewhere around the world, Toyota sold and still sells crew cab Hilux pickup trucks. We just never got them here in the states. Today you can see them popup on ebay every once in a blue moon. Always wanted to purchase one for myself. Bro, awesome vid!

[@Kickthelighter]

That scratch made land cruiser was awesome. And the fact that he put a scale LS in it makes it even better

[@twisterzman]

Amazing builds, but that range rover! 😳😳😳😳

[@JSonJSonJSonJSonJSon]

If I had to sum this video up in one word it would be “spectacular”!

What Amazing builds, all you guys are absolute artist at this hobby, hats off to each & every one of you!! I have to admit the last Toyota while the build was absolute perfection & wildy spectacular, it has to be one of the ugliest real world trucks ever designed lol...... Happy New Year Matt, Thanks for all your hard work year round keeping the Hobby running....

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching! Yep... it's not the prettiest truck, but that's why I like it!

A fabricator here Having built three Ford Cummins trucks Two from the ground up and one I bought and finished from another Cummins lover All I can say is those builds are beautiful 🤩 just over the top (words can’t say) Just awesome talents, busted up knuckles from working with metal since 14 now 35 years old.

A fan of the 6x6 builds. 👏🏾

[@garymaddux2000]

Only made it to the first build, but as an owner of a 1985 Dodge Ramcharger with the roof cut off, that rig is just about as perfect as you can get! Holy crap! I wish I could afford to have him replicate my ramcharger as it is 😅

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@jumpinpics2414]

Proline needs to really release the ram charger

[@yeatotlas6723]

The long Toyota look so real that truck is insanely scale.

[@RCPMK]

Awesome! The landcruisers were def my favourite. The last photos of the long Toyota on the trail looked so real I saw a couple of the builds were using felt for carpets, etc. I recently tried flock on some helicopter seats..what a difference and so easy

[@iPhone3GS_68]

Some of these trucks are so good in scale it looks real like at 8:02

The stretch toy dually is real cool. I drive a 3/4 scale 1 ton dually flatbed. I converted it from a Shasta Mini Motorhome. It has 30 inches if stretch In the frame I can see them using the same thing as a base for the prototype build. Hope your holidays went well, have fun.
