Somewhere in the world, some father is on his hands ‘n knees in the driveway teaching his child the ins and outs of the family rig. How to change a tire. Clean the engine bay. Check the fuses. Y’know: car talk, man.
But don’t you think it’d be better if the young’n had a clunker of his own to work on?
Enter Hong Kong’s Capo Racing and their flawless 1:8 scale model Jeep Wrangler. Yes, it’s a toy. Yes, your kid will absolutely love it. And yes, it’s as real as a scale rig will ever get.
Teaching ‘em the 101s of car maintenance couldn’t be easier, what with completely replaceable body parts, a three-speed drivetrain that can switch from 2WD to 4WD and a full body metal chassis. Under the hood: a meticulously recreated and detailed engine compartment.
Them’s the big details, but the little details are just as faithful: reclining seats and monster tires with doors — including the tailgate — that legit open and shut, just like an honest automobile should.
Best part? It’ll cost ya only $2,300. Head on over to Capo Racing for all the details, but check the pics below first.
