57peppershaker Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Since owning a 1;1 Chevy crew cab, my 1;25('ish) collection has grown somewhat. The Motor Max 2017/18's are far better and more to scale than Wellys (paint isnt great). I will try and post comparison pics at some time, as the current Vette thread. Other than Brookfield /Motor Max / Welly are there any others ? I've seen mention on FB of a pull back n go crew cab (modified pic below) available at Wallmart, anybody shed any light on it or a brand name ? We dont have Wallmart here in England.

TooOld Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 I'm also a Silverado CrewCab owner and would be very interested in seeing a comparison of different brands . I've bought a few 1/24 scale and they are all over the place . What do you know about the Norscot ?
57peppershaker Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 I will try n grab a few pics this eve Bob. My cabinet front is screwed on to keep grandkids out lol. Never heard of the Norscot brand, but just had a quick look. At 1st I thought was a reboxed Motor Max or something but they pics I found look very detailed. Do you have any & are they readily available in the US ? The few I found on ebay aint cheap, with postage to the UK. What year Crew Cab have you got ? Mines an 04, with a few modifications
57peppershaker Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) A few quick pics. From L to R, Jada (1;24), Motor Max (1;24/7 ?) & Welly (1;27) Not measured them to see what is actually true to scale. Jada has a pretty good finish and detail (paint on mirrors isnt good) this is also lowered. Motor Max also has good finish and detail but only available as stock height, so I lowered it. Welly is obviously smaller, paint finish isnt great, door fit is bad (all are mail ordered so I couldnt look for a 'good' one on the shelf), detail is ok. Again I have lowered it. I have ordered the Motor Max in black and white and searching for a Jada in stock height. Will pass on anymore Welly's. At some point they will all get detailed and painted interiors etc. Edited September 27, 2019 by 57peppershaker
57peppershaker Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) And the 2014 Jada vs 2005 Brookfield, both are listed as 1:24. Again I havent measured to see what is true to scale. The Brookfield 2005 dually is bigger than the Brookfield 98 dually I have, both listed as 1;24 ? Id like to get one of the Norscot's one day to compare too Edited September 27, 2019 by 57peppershaker

Mine's a 2012 purchased in 2016 with 14,600 mi on it , currently at about 29K . No mods yet but I've got a lowering kit in the garage that I'll be installing this winter . I just recently came across Norscot and yes they are pricey , about $60 here plus shipping . I'm very tempted to buy one , I've read that the scale is very accurate and that's what I'm looking for more than anything else . Which one of yours is closest to being 1/25 or 1/24 scale ?
TooOld Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I've got this black Jada 2014 which I think is pretty close to being 1/24 scale . The white one is a plastic 2012 pull-back toy made by Kidztech , it's maybe 1/22 scale but looks pretty accurate compared to mine . I have two of them and will probably make a crew cab out if them .

randyc Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 We bought the boss the 2017 (?) blue one shown to closely match his personal truck. Also got the Franklin/Danbury? Mint BP Ranger bass boat to go with it. We do a lot of BP imaging work. The boat really overshadows the 1/27 truck. He displays them separately anyway. Nice diecasts for the reasonable prices.
57peppershaker Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 Thats a nice 2012 Bob, get it lowered. 3/5 drop totally transformed the ride of mine. Ive just ordered a blue Jada. Ive got a couple of the 2012 plastics but they are red remote control versions. I have a few and like you thought about a crew cab conversion. I bought a clear glass for it too from a resin company.
57peppershaker Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 Wonder if the bass boat would suit to oversized Dually ? I have the Revell kit to go behind a Revell 99 Silverado ext cab.
randyc Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 The Mint bass boat is a pretty large setup behind the 1/27 truck. Might look better with the dually.
