UGears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03

Functionality

The UGears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03 model kit is a fully functioning vehicle complete with a tractor, truck trailer (model sold separately), and hitch. The wind-up truck uses a rubber band-based motor with an R6 engine that allows it to drive up to 16 feet with a single crank. A working transmission system provides movement that can go forward or backward, or you can idle it to get a good look at the inner workings in motion. When you do decide you want your model to move, use the front-sprung wheels and working steering wheel to choose the direction you want it to go. The traditional hitch system connects your tractor and trailer together, just like the real thing.

Aesthetics

The aesthetic appeal of the UGears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03 kit leaves nothing to be desired either. The robust long-hauler truck features a detailed design that recreates all the elements you've come to expect in a real-life tractor-trailer rig. The steampunk style means you see everything going on inside your working model, and large pipes, two sets of side mirrors, and the realistic hitch system ensure its authenticity when it comes to looks. UGears didn't skimp on the small details of this model kit either. The tractor features a ladder to a cabin, a sleep station, and even a television set. In the back, you'll find a shovel and a gas can. Even the license plates are made with extreme attention to detail, and everything is created with high-grade wood that was laser-cut for precision.

More Information
