In the Transformers film, the archetype of prime leader “Optimus Prime” is a heavy haul truck (also known as a container car or tow head). The container car is known as the “highway overlord” by the developed countries in Europe and America with its huge body. In the remote control model car world, the container remote model car is not “overlord”, it has no strong acceleration performance, nor has the ability to overturn the obstacles, but the container remote control car has conquered numerous model car fans with its high appearance and frame structure.


The remote-control car of the container is just like it!
The remote control car of the container, whether it is the body appearance, the transmission structure, the light combination, the vibration and the sound of the engine, is very different from that of the real car, so the film company likes to take the remote control car for the container as a prop.
The first is the appearance of the remote control car, most of the container remote control car is the prototype of the real heavy truck which is popular in Europe and America. Because of the authorization of the original car factory, the model car developed by the model company can copy the prototype of the prototype 100%, even the rear view mirror of the car is the same as that of the prototype. ! Now the popular remote control container car styles are mainly King Hauler, Ford Aeromax, Volvo FH12 and Scania R620, as well as domestic Dongfeng and Jiefang style remote control car for players to choose. In addition to the true shape, the mechanical part of the remote-controlled container car is also a big spot, the universal joint plus the straight shaft transmission mode, the suspension part of the spring shock absorber is the same as the real heavy truck structure! In addition, the electronic control system, such as the vehicle lighting assembly, the steering inductor (turning the turning lamp auto flicker), the horn, the brake light, the truck electric landing gear system, etc., the container remote control model car can completely copy the true car in the state of 100% under different operating conditions! Unlike most of the remote control cars we have introduced before, container remote control cars do not seek speed and control. Container remote control models play like real!




The mainstream brand, DIY has a lot of fun
Now the mainstream brand of remote control car is produced by Tamiya of Japan (Tian Gong model) company. One of the most classic remote-controlled container cars is King Hauler, which is an American large container truck. The proportion of King Hauler model cars produced by Tamiya is 1/10, even the trailer’s total length is close to 1.80 meters. It is worth mentioning that the car’s mechanical three gear gearbox really realizes the gear shift mode of the model car, the player can experience the “feeling of frustration” brought by the shift, the player is just as real as the real car is sitting in the cab; based on the rich static model of Tamiya company, it is used in the remote control container car, Tamiya King Hauler, like the truth and the details of the handling of impeccable, players even because the car is too like, so that it is not willing to start the car, have to use the container remote control car as a collection to savor! Most of the telecontrol cars are sold in the form of suites. Players need to assemble and paint their own products when they buy the products. Some models also need extra remote control and electronic equipment to complete the assembly. Players can carry out various DIY on the basis of the original container car products, such as body coating DIY, cab interior DIY There is also the highest level mechanical structure DIY. Once, players used their own lathe DIY to set up a 8 wheel container truck steering system!
