Hot Wheels 1/10-scale R/C Cybertruck

By: Tim Gluth

To the surprise of no one, it's already sold out.

Tesla's Cybertruck is an interesting machine. While it has its fans, it also has its fair share of critics. No matter what camp you're in, you can't deny that it's certainly a conversation starter.

While I've witnessed a handful of R/C enthusiasts turn their interest for this 1:1 electric vehicle into 1/10-scale creations, it was only a matter of time before a major brand brought their own version of the Cybertruck to the party. However, that brand may surprise you.

Hot Wheels Cyber Truck 1-10 - Family

Hot Wheels, the maker of both 1/64-scale diecast replicas/automotive toys and memories, has announced a 1/10-scale version of the Tesla Cybertruck. With a price tag of $400, this vehicle features a number of true-to-life details that you'd find on the 1:1 version, including LED headlights and taillights, all-wheel drive, a telescoping tailgate, and rear tonneau cover.

They've even thrown in a reusable "cracked window" vinyl decal to commemorate the now-infamous on-stage test of the Cybertruck's "unbreakable glass". Funny, right?

While you may be familiar with some of Hot Wheel's other R/C models, this one claims to be hobby-grade. The body is removable, allowing for access to the internal components and chassis, including the 9.9V, 3300mah battery.

Now for the disappointing news; this limited-release model has already sold out. With a release date of December 2020, those who have pre-ordered this model have a bit of a wait ahead of them, but it will be interesting to read those reviews when they come out.

It's worth mentioning that a small-scale Cybertruck is also available for purchase, however, this one misses the "hobby-grade" mark.

Perhaps there will be additional quantities released, but for now, we're left staring at release photos. If you want to see more details about this unique R/C replica, visit hotwheelscollectors.mattel.com.
