Let's Recreate the Dukes of Hazzard in 1/25 Scale RC

What do you do with a RC 1/25 scale 1969 Dodge charger? You paint it orange and send it! In todays video I'll be introducing you to the "General". I'll be showing you all the details and showcasing the build process. The car turned out looking great and the first test drive was a big success. Stay tuned for future videos when we'll be attempting to recreate some of the wild stunts seen in the Dukes of Hazzard.

Finally a new upload! I've been looking forward to sharing this video with all of you for awhile. Hope it was worth the wait. Looking forward to doing some jumps. 👍

[@douglasmundle5356]

How much are the 1/25scalw chassis

[@victorvangrimgamming6784]

Could you use a metallic reinforced frame to provide extra strength and prevent twisting of the frame. And perhaps cutting all small easily breakable parts (IE: makeing the whole frame simular to cheap RC cars with a function suspension in front and rear, the whole steering system simplified to a 4 parts, and makeing the rear gear driven rather than crankshaft driven.)

[@MrDubinvasion]

How can I get you to build me one ?

[@lukeburnett8583]

One thing iv noticed is the rear light panel is orange, should have been black, but otherwise not a bad little kit!

[@shanekolybaba3896]

Do you build to sell?

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

“Bo and Luke duke” shows coy and Vance from season five

[@jaqueslagerweij6882]

I know right.

[@meganthuss8235]

I saw that and I said that is not Bo and Luke

[@cameron5855]

@@meganthuss8235 yes

[@tsha6125]

I immediately caught that too, and I was born 1990. I didn't even grow up watching the show on TV, my dad got the DVDs for us.

[@tennessee4203]

The dude is dumb as hell smh

[@AimlessMoto]

Triggered by picture of Coy and Vance when you clearly said Bo and Luke.

[@boogietr0n]

The horn needs to be a feature...

[@christopheratkinson5693]

This is absolutely insane, just the other day I had a really nice model of a 1984 Toyota supra that I did not want to just build as a model, but I wanted to build it as an RC and I started doing it, and then I looked at my old 68 charger, and realized that I wanted to do it to that. And then I came across your video, this is just simply awesome man. Please keep doing this.

[@CK4RC]

"Not designed to be jumped...just like the full-sized cars." But that's not going to stop us! 😂😂 Absolutely fantastic build!

[@theclassiccarguy268]

"My spine"😂 (2:36)

[@RayRojas-jd5kg]

It looks like die cast!♥️ Painted and finished

[@EJ-74]

Very cool build I grew watching Dukes Of Hazzard I was born in 74 I had a awesome Dukes Of Hazzard slot car track with jumps and many models and big and little diecasts I was a big fan Can't wait to see some jumps 🔥👍 I subbed ✌️

[@MilfordHeavenMercadoPach-im7jk]

'Bo & Luke are going need general to jump over that barn like now cooter' 😂😂 i can imagine how concern those duke brothers are in wanting there general lee ready for some good old fashion adventures, high flyin jumps, wild car chases and many funny momets as once again my friend your work is defintiely going to please cooter and the dukes for taking the 69 charger out to hazzard county anyway thanks for the video and have a nice week bye now.

[@dimesixstring4510]

Mentions Bo and Luke in the intro.... shows a pic of Coy and Vance 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@713Ace529]

Yup. 😂 them two lower the ratings then the real dukes returned. 🇨🇱👍

[@MakeItRC]

Just gotta make sure you all are paying attention. 😉 lol seriously though was just looking for a nice high res image and didn't really notice until people started pointing it out... oh well.

[@bigmikeh5827]

The memories. Watched the first episode and built the mpc kit. Still have it along with a couple other kits. Looking forward to the jumps.

[@jcetrangelo]

Fantastic work, and it looks like a lot of fun to drive too!

[@49BigPoppa]

The two guys showed at the beginning of your video was not Bo & Luke but Coy & Vance to 2 Duke boys nobody gave a crap about

[@wakkogn9351]

And they should. They kept the show alive.

[@brianglade848]

Cay and Vince did take a crap with the original file boys

[@meganthuss8235]

When I found this video I was so happy, because I love this TV show it is my favourite. I really can’t find lots of these videos

[@daryelthomas9414]

Sharpie the back panel👍 Also spray a little furniture polish on linoleum for cool doughnuts

[@EpicFilmshub]

This looks Real AF..! Great Work..! ❤️

[@RayRojas-jd5kg]

That is a cool project!♥️

[@leniere309]

I have the General Lee in the collector tin still in pieces, I'm thinking about converting it to an RC model. Great video. Cheers from South Australia.

[@lukekubisch967]

Now all you need is the Dixie horn

[@jorgeduarte-9665]

Great job dude !!!!👌🏾

[@clarenceupton4995]

That's a pretty awesome build😊😊👍👍

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

"Well it's about time them Duke boys showed up"

[@atomicshark9466]

This is awsome I've been wanting to do this forever! What spray paint did you use and rc parts?

[@greglawrence1084]

This is amazing

[@sloangiddings9763]

Excellent work!! 🤙💪👏 For keeping The General dressed properly!! But now you gotta do a Roscoe car and Boss Hogg Caddie, maybe borrow Porky's Pig Whistle 😁🤣🤣🤣( you gotta go waaaaaay back for that one💯) Respectfully Submitted

[@warriorgames599]

I love this!

[@dudebro313]

Yee Haw! Great build, big fan of your channel!

[@shawnkitts7516]

Looks great but the General Lee never had hood pins. Still I would love to have that RC!

[@descendantoffools9767]

I got the Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am RC Christmas 1978, good times!

[@713Ace529]

Nice paint. I see you’re proud of it you almost don’t want to destroy it either ah?. 😆 👍

[@jerryjohnson4618]

I finally found your channel again. I lost power last week and resubscribe to all my subscription again.

[@roopeshkrishna34]

Nice work...

[@caydenverburg2915]

You need to make a Smokey and the bandit car Also known as the Thunderbird

[@johnmoss8230]

Couldn't forget the flour on the floor for better breaking lose of the rear tires lol

[@DYLANTRIES]

I got a 1984 dodge d150, building its small block LA and will lower it 4 inches and paint it like the general lee

[@RayRojas-jd5kg]

Brother you are master!♥️

[@AMan29892]

I love how he said bow and Luke duke but shows a picture of coy and Vance duke

[@Ixapter]

A masterpiece!

[@tractorcorleone]

Very good 👍👍🙂

[@redpixel1133]

That’s awesome! What’s next, the KITT car?

[@MakeItRC]

That would be cool. 👍

[@klingenator]

Coy and Vance in video.

[@rudyklippenstein6394]

0:23. That's Coy and Vance Duke not Bo and Luke. They were cousins

[@MakeItRC]

Hadn't noticed till you pointed that out, was just trying to find a cool high res photo. Oh well, we'll just call it close enough. 😆

[@alexesparza5384]

Just the good ol boys!

[@christopheratkinson5693]

Also, there is a guy on Etsy that sells 1/25 size tires that are semi rubber compound, I’ve been using them from one of my RC cars for drifting and they are absolutely fantastic. You absolutely need to find that guy I’ll try to send a link laterway better than plastic tires

[@revus5078]

Nice, like always Good video and another cool model Hope you had as much fun as I had watching But here’s the real question, cement in the trunk?

[@MakeItRC]

Thank you! Yeah not sure, might have to add some weight to the rear just like on the 1/1 cars.

[@rcplaytime]

Gorgeous👌👍

[@Saul8]

Need to add the long antenna great job

[@patrickkennedy2533]

though i was young , i still have nightmares about the toy General Lee cars used for the stunts . I'm still getting over it , they were painful.

[@briancorbin5542]

Amazing

[@akura2]

Great work... you could have used the silver sharpie to make some B-pillars... but other than that, amazing!

[@kingperfection1868]

Nobody gonna point out that was coy and Vance instead of bo and Luke?

[@robertbroadhurst9701]

Hey no big deal being orange. They did that in the 1997 Reunion TV movie. It was orange around the taillights they didn't paint it black in the Reunion movie. :)

[@Eugen_TV]

dude! awesome! how long can it run on one charge?

[@bigwhop136]

Hey nice video bro I have a question do you custom build RC'S for people? If so how can I talk to someone. Thanks and keep up the great content!

[@fisherstudios6525]

Can you make an RC nascar with a 1:24th scale model?

[@user-dada1234]

Good job !! Make a mini rock racer!! Please !

[@anthonybeno1481]

The actual color of the General Lee is called TNT EXPRESS

[@tmanfiles3079]

Great video! Will the vector wheels fit a mini z drift chassis?

[@gabenieto3113]

So all the parts for the chassis are able to be bought on you web site including the running gear on your website already 3d printed?

[@stephencook2459]

I would love to have one of them

[@ellieperry5901]

OMG I WANT THAT SO BAD! Edit how much money would i half to pay to get you to make me one?

[@Bandit3DPrinting]

How are you gonna go and try and do all that detail to leave out the black tail light panel as it should be?

[@chrisspearline767]

You can cover in the rear panel with a black Sharpie

[@antoniorivera6187]

Awesome video I’m a big dukes of hazzard fan how can I order a chassis from to make my own general lee car thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@littlequasi3604]

Those are turn signal markers on the hood. They are just dents that are referred to as “vents”

[@johnnyrebel4267]

I'm getting ready to do my x maxx. Can u pretty, pretty please tell me exactly wut orange u used. I've been looking at the tamiya oranges, but cant decide wuts closest. Thanks in advance

[@averydempsey4468]

How much do you charge to make these?

[@nightelf4860]

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a set of rims for my Tamiya MF-01x chassis. I would love to purchase a set from you if possible. Thank you

[@northbirthsouthchoic]

Solid work finding the correct wheels would be incredible to see a 1 tenth scale that can jump

[@wakkogn9351]

You can buy an older 1/10...but I don't know how well it'll hold up!

[@hotwheels2478]

Where do I buy the chassis? The link doesn't work

[@fjimenezbotello]

A W E S O M E 👑

[@richardbalzarinijr2676]

OK so I love everything you do. What do you charge to build customer builds ????? I'm looking to do a 60s to early 70s bump truck. F250 high boy long bed regular cab

[@noipy839]

Awesome

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Looks great, now..........SEND IT 🤣!!! I guess YT won't let you use the Dukes of Hazard theme or the Wish I Was In Dixie horn?!

[@MakeItRC]

Yeah, we just have to use our imaginations. 😆

[@juanlopezocampo5051]

show us your collection of rc cars

[@OSRNetwork2016]

will you be doing anymore of the chassis....thanks...

[@TitanicTruths]

Been my dream car since I found out what make and model it was. But why did you show Coy and Vance when you said Bo and Luke?

[@JonsAwesomeStuff]

I have to know. how much would it be to buy one of these complete with remote? i would love one to drive around car shows and such. As I am not good with Rc building and would rather build it as a complete kit or already built.

[@thomasnicholls7044]

where can i buy this?

[@matthewsheatler938]

how much is to buy a general lee?

[@oatway_trucker3663]

Do you sell this completed by any chance

[@patrickkennedy2533]

Coy and Vance in the photo

[@Forcemaster2000]

LOL, yes, it was pretty obvious even then that the last seasons' car stunts were mostly done with miniatures!

[@bugsjunior3338]

Nice

[@lakecochran2379]

Would it be possible to order an identical model from you? If so where can I contact you? Thanks for your time!

[@jonharris794]

Did this in the 1980's with a model and a Radio Shack RC car.

[@stevewatts3502]

Cool that you used the OE Dukes kit (kudos points 100), your wheels are better tho! If'n you wanna put a CB aerial on it, use a brush bristle (that's if you haven't 86'd it by now, yeehaw).

[@MakeItRC]

Great idea. Won't be for this car, but I will have to try that for a future build. 👍

[@tearfulsmiles9901]

Cool idea! I sometimes use an old guitar string.

[@brianglade848]

Buy Cuspers Propane, best propane in Eastern Ohio

[@MrMiguella]

If you want tge vibe of the general lee without the un pcness, you should check out the General Mayhem made by the guys at roadkill.

[@MakeItRC]

General Mayhem build, or a similar "rat muscle" style Charger would be cool. 👍

[@ryansnyder2877]

How much is the chassis radio etc everything except the car body already have a General Lee model

[@71Dragtruck]

Looks good, love the General Lee, just a FYI, the tail light surround should be black not orange.

[@terryfrye4552]

He already said that in the video

[@crashandcynder]

what orange paint did you use?

[@MakeItRC]

Rustoleum orange enamel from the spray can.

[@Marsupial2]

I’m glad I subscribed yesterday, I’ve always wanted a general Lee rc car.

[@itsjustcam247]

Haven't we all

[@Windows_XP_2005]

How much do these cost and can they be shipped out of the US?

[@BentleysGaming4]

Let it go

[@planker]

I have been interested in this for a while. your builds. They are well done. Cost on printers are much better now. Still steep to justify. A printed subject is not always the best solution, for now. The price for you to print me one exceeds justification even for your profit. Out of the Question. After seeing what you want to participate, the show is over.

[@jokermahem666]

Is there anyway I could pay you to make me one of these 1/25th scale General Lee RC's ??

[@rastanz]

Yeah, that's Coy and Vance 0:24 not Bo and Luke.

[@MrDubinvasion]

Ill buy one if you build it
