Support your local demo derby.

Black Rollback bought at a toy show last summer.

Easy does it!

Ready for a clunker or a trailer queen.



This is a great version of a true 1/64 scale rollback that had been sorely lacking in small scale for years. The detail is outstanding. The body and base is all metal as well as the rollback portion. I bought mind from a toy dealer for $25. Also have an identical white one as well.

Very nice, turn that aperture up though ;)

$25? Seems kinda steep, but I understand taht these things aren't exactly produced in massive numbers?

Here's the M2 rollback hauling a Roundback 1973 Chevy wagon. Enjoy.

This shot really shows off the detail on the bed and the mudflaps. The bed even has a winch with a rope and a hook attached as well to help pull the cars onto the bed.

In response to Jedi, yes they are expensive at $25, but I don't know of any other company other than SpecCast that makes a true 1/64 rollback with this much detail. When I was looking for details on this casting, they were selling for $30 on some sites and I'd suspect they might be higher on the bay. I don't know the exact production figures, but they can't be very high.
