RC Controlled Truck

I have seen that scale but not in RC. They have that silly wire running to them from the battery pack. I used to have some RC cars. I'm guessing to use on a layout they would have to be really geared down. It is a great idea. I'm curious to see if someone posts that they are available. I would be interested in adding to my layput.  

I bought a couple of RC vehicles about two years ago -- a panel van that was very scale 1:43 and a little mini cooper that was small but not really 1:43 - it was about the size of the 1:43 van and thus about  1:30.  I have no recollection who made them.  They were pretty cheaply made - just thing plastic, flimsy gears, etc.,  and very little metal, but they did perform well enough.  I tried 'driving' them around the layout but it proved difficult.  Most of the problem with them was that they were geared like toys, for very high (unrealistic) speeds.  I put them away and am not sure where they are; if I can find them I will copy the manufacturer's name, etc., off any identification and post it here.

Impressive little truck!

Thanks for the responses.  The last link had imbedded in it the video I referenced above and the discussion seems to indicate that a Corgi Vanguard Morris Commercial model was modified to have power and RC control.  The site has a few pictures of how he did it which are helpful in getting started.  Now I need to find one of those trucks!
