I was going through some old design work on some of my CDs from back in the Tyco R/C toy days and I had forgotten about these R/C rigs that I did the styling and engineering for about 3 years ago. The rig style that was rendered blue that has more of a hood made into the stores. I personally liked the more cab-over version better. While I was looking at it I cracked up and thought "...G-Machine Rigs!!!!" OK, maybe it's a little far fetched but hey they do have racing rigs over in Europe I think...LOL
Anyways, thought you guys would get a kick out of these.

....Here's the prototypes. You can't see it but it's also a mid-engien style truck. The engien comes out 50% past the back wall of the cabs. Rigs with zoom pipes!!!

Thanks guys. Sometimes I miss the wild stuff you could design when it came to the toy business. Creative freedom was important. Nothing was too over the top. But it's also a very competitive business - very cut throat. That's why I left it. 5 years of that was enough for me. It was neat though to work around a dozen or so other guys that were all very talented. You always learned off of each other and that's probably what I miss the most.
