Thx The DM600 has an offset cab, fish belly chassis rails, older model cab, steel dash, and is heavy duty. Most parts are not interchangeable between these kits. The DM600 looks to be 1/24 as opposed to the r series which is definitely 1/25. I hope this helps. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewd Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) R model in red, DM in blue. Edited April 2, 2019 by mountaindewd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 They are both 1/25 scale. The DM600 though has a little too wide track on the rear that can easily be corrected. Depending on what you want to build with some engineering parts from one kit can be used on the other. I recently combined parts from both kits to build U-Model with too has the off-set cab like the DM but was lighter duty. AS said before the DM has the older steel dash, and flat back cab. The R model has the newer dash with the plus 3 rounded back cab. The DM has heavier suspension and beefier "fishbelly" frame rails. The R has lighter suspension. DM has older style spokes and the has the newer style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
