RC4WD’s Armageddon Dump Truck is Hydraulic, Heavy-Duty, and $2300

If you’ve always wanted a Euro-style 8X8 dump truck with authentic metal construction and a functional hydraulic dump bed, good news: you’re looking at it. The bad news: it’ll set you back a cool $2,300 bucks. You get a whole lotta truck though, see the long list of features below. That includes a two-stick, 6-channel transmitter, lighting, automatic dump gate (“do not attempt to open it by hand,” says RC4WD), and metal parts everywhere. Check the specs.
