IH885XLMAN Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 looks like they will sell well do you think the 7000s and 7600s would have been in the same shipment i know they arnt due for release till the end of the year but it would have saved some money all the same though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'd imagine the wheel size plays a role in the height difference, though the new one does look slightly larger. According to RC2 they got the measurements from a real one so hopefully it's the correct one? However in recent years we've had a 1:28 slurry tank and a 1:34.5 Fastrac from the same RC2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 According to Craig, the New model is correctly scaled, the previous version is slightly underscale....according to Britains that is. Anyone taken any measurements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone taken any measurements? well i have just for you now andy height first models 8cm high,which equates to 2.56 m in real size box spec lists it as 1.65 m high length models tip of bonnet to tip of rear arches 10.5 cm whish is 3.36m box spec lists 3.66m? width, model rear wheels edge to edge 6.3cm which equates to 2m 1 cm box spec lists 1.73 so not really even by their specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Wow, interesting! what about the earlier version then Sean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 just of to the loft now andy old version, same marks for measuerments to make it fair height 7.2 cm which equates to 2.3 m lenght 9.5 cm which equates to 3m 4 cm width 5.5 cm which equates to 1.76 m so to me the older ones a better scale bar the height mind you would they have the same cabs on the 6000 and the 5000 like the older britains one does??

Tractorman810 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 does any body have the real 5000 and 6600 specs in a brouchure so we can compair them?? i know the 5000 was smaller, so i wonder if they have scaled to a 6600 rather than the proper 5000?

Tractorman810 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 something i have just noticed, and so far have never seen before on a britains production box is the text in the pic on the back i quoute "image shown is prototype and actual model may vary" do you think we are going to see a revised model steering wise and detail wise at some point, as the pic is identical to the model in the box??

TS135A DRIVER Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 does any body have the real 5000 and 6600 specs in a brouchure so we can compair them?? i know the 5000 was smaller, so i wonder if they have scaled to a 6600 rather than the proper 5000? I've just dug out the sales brochure for the 1975 safety cab 6600 here and it quotes the following figures based on 7.50x16 6 ply front tyres and 13.6/ 12x38 6 ply rear tyres.Overall length 144 in or 3660 mm Overall width ( min track ) 69 in or 1750 mm Overall height with safety cab 97 in or 2465 mm Wheelbase 88 in or 2235 mm Ground clearance under front axle 18 in or 450 mm Ground clearance under transmission 16.3 in or 414 mm Weight with cab approx 6000lbs or 2700 kgs a real light weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 That seems like the new one is to scale, I'm guessing it is not at min track. Would the length be from the end of the lift arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Another factor to consider when trying to calculate the scale from the sizes I posted up is that the new model looks to be on larger 16.9 x 34 size wheels and tyres and that could change things slightly too but not by much \ Don't panic I have just dug out the brochure for the 7600 model with safety cab and the only measurement that changed was the under front axle clearance. Up 1 inch or 25.4 mm and those figures are based on 7.50 x 18-8 ply fronts and 16.9/ 14x34- 6 ply rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
