RocHobby 1/6 1941 Willys MB vs Full Scale 1943 Willys MB

Let's take a look at the RocHobby MB, go over the specs and compare some of the details to the full scale vehicle.

[@RCCarTech]

This is, hands down, the most awesome video about the ROCHOBBY 1941 MB Scaler. Thank you.

[@georgestefanzaheu1967]

GI JOE figurines are a perfect fit. The machine gun and the top you can find on Amazon. They also have a trailer for it. Awesome video btw

[@molonlave6063]

I've got a 1:1 as well and I'm going to detail mine just like my full size. I'm waiting to get this from a Buddy of mine because he picked it up for me. I'm going to detail the tool boxes, under the hood, etc. Markings will be like my Jeep, 340th BG 12th AAF as we do at EAA Airventure. You can purchase a .50 cal Ma Deuce, canvas top, and an MBT trailer. Look up 1/6 Rochobby Jeep accessories.

[@izzysantiago978]

Just bought one with the trailer which sold separately and other cloth canopy. Also everyone FYI: Battery and charger are sold sepeperatly as well. Just keep that in mind. Sadly most unboxing videos don't mention that.

[@lindeleasley]

Mine came with a XT-60 connector. Great vehicle. The first thing I noticed was how much smaller it was than my SCX6.

[@deswright2075]

A little late to the party😂, but i got one on the way,can't wait looks awesome! Very interesting to compare to the real thing!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us👍☘

[@carcdriver8146]

Great Vid. Thanks for the awesome description.

[@mr.sinister1279]

Damn wat a btr way to compare an RC wit the real deal!! Nice very nice!! 👍

[@CoffeeHobby]

What I did on my MB crawler was remove the bottom front seat cushions. It helps bring a Dragon 6th scale figure down a bit more. I also removed the feet of the figure I use for the driver so he sits far more comfortably in the position. Then used double-sided mounting tape to fix my figures and stowage in. Also found the weight of all the extra stuff makes it behave more like a jeep, it has a nice bounce on the shocks :)

[@erebus1964]

The head of the 12" figures are protruding over the windshield frame because the RocHobby Jeep is not truly 1/6. It is merely 1/6.35 - 6.5 in scale (depending which part of the Roc Hobby you're measuring). Wheelbase is 324mm. In 1/6 it should have 338mm. And you will find these differences over the whole model. I compared it to the Dragon Jeep static model in 1/6 scale and the Dragon is slightly larger in every dimension. Cool video and I am a little bit jealous (but in a positive way) that you own the real thing. I really love this car. I got several static kits from 1/87 up to 1/6. But I ain't got the budget to get me a 1/1. Far too expensive to get them here in Germany. Apart from the Duesenberg 1933 Weymann Speedster the Jeep is one of my two absolute dream cars.

[@kongpind1]

Very Nice, i saw in another video that you can remove the bottum of the driver seat so you gain a bit more space for the driver, so the head dont stick above the windshield. Best regards from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@rcbloke778]

Really enjoyed your demonstration vid, the comparison between the real thing n the rochobby willys was a great idea, I'm in the process of detailing mine, engine detail, mud n general weathering etc, then gunna add accessories etc, I've customised a dragon figure to include a micro servo inside for separate head movements, gunna post a vid in nxt few weeks

you did a good job comparing d real one with d rc jeep! i like it!

Hey River! Good to see you! All is good here. We took a break from things for a bit but are not getting back again. Never Stop the RC!

[@andrewmagro7703]

i found a great fitting 6th scale driver on ebay dragon brand and was around $40 aud and just bought some ww2 period uniform for him as he was dressed in a desert stotm outfit and the machine gun was $65 aud from ebay at a store called hobbyco in australia also the canopy was also available although i bought that from another store on eaby , now going to buy some 1mm red led lights for the rear and fit them and paint in some details all round where will make a great difference , hope this helps all cheers guys :-)))))

I had absolutely no doubt this would end up on your bench. Specially having the real one. lol I have seen a few videos on this thing now and I got to say that it is very scale and a great looking rig on the trails. Thanks for sharing bud.

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi there, great return video, you’re 1/1 jeep is still amazing, the rc jeep is the best one yet. I’ve got to get myself one, but my motorcycle repair bill comes first, then the jeep, can’t wait. Before you put a 1/6 scale driver in, take the seat base off and he fits nicely. When I get my one, I’m going to try hunter dan figures, I think he will fit good even with the seat base attached. Awesome video. 😎👍👍👍

[@DiscoverRC]

Thanks Mikey! good idea with the seat! I have a figure ordered so will see how it fits.

[@RCDevotee]

Cool you can compare directly to the real thing :) I looked at 1/6th scale WW2 figures and damn they are expensive.

[@DiscoverRC]

some are as much as the rc jeep - crazy. I finally found one left on amazon for 45 bucks - hopefully good enough.

Wow both are stunning....all my life I have longed after owning a WW2 Willys Jeep....own a SWB landrover most of the time...well the last 50 years...bought it brand new here in England..but its not a Jeep. I wonder...are both axles on the model fully locked....of course in the real one they weren't.

[@3DMOFO2020]

Once again it's cool to see you post a new video again Johnathan cool jeeps you got there BTW whenever you drive that full scale Willy do the cops pull you over ask you about seat belts?

[@DiscoverRC]

Hey Cueball! Haven't been pulled over yet - I've seen a few cops around when driving it but no issues. I will never get a speeding ticket in it lol. There are lots of old cars in this area and you see them around on Sundays. The Jeep does have seatbelts though :).

i dont find gun yet but top for it is on banggod

[@izzysantiago978]

The only true 1/6th scale Jeep is the one from Dragon Models and has all the enchalladas the real Jeep has and can be converted to RC. RocHobby's is a tad smaller than 1/6 but nevertheless a nice RC version.
