With Lowrider shows in full swing, The RC community has been showing up and showing out across the country. Like many others, if you own more than one RC lowrider, thank you understand the struggle of trying to bring them all out to the shows. Often times, opting for one (or two at most) will be your best option for your trip to the nearest Lowrider event.
This Multi-car predicament has given rise to RC Haulers, otherwise known as Tow Pigs, allowing RC Lowrider enthusiasts to pull up with multiple vehicles in-tow. At any given event you will see owners of multiple Lowriders driving their Tow pigs into the event with anything from two, to six vehicles (We see you Brad Willis Sr.) strapped to it.
If you’re reading this then you may be in the market for a quality hauler, and if thats you then you’re in luck. listed below are some of favorite Tow Pigs available online that will take your fleet from the parking lot to the function in one swift trip.
Redcat 1953 Chevrolete COE
Back in December, we wrote up a post about the Redcat Chevy COE that was released to critical acclaim as the RC lowrider community needed more hauling options for their ever-growing fleet of cars.
“Built to carry 1/10th scale RC vehicles like your lowrider, this hauler is a functional powerhouse. Its LED-ready design can accommodate up to 18 LED lights for added realism. The Heavy Hauler Bed ensures secure transport with an anti-skid surface, wheel chocks, and tie-down straps. Adjustable loading ramps and a concealed easy-load battery box enhance convenience.” - Read more here
While the Chevy COE quickly became a staple within the Redcat community, Their are other Tow Pigs on the market that get the job done as well. As with all things RC lowrider-related, members of the community community began to customize them almost immediately. From mirrored beds to custom rims, the community found unique ways to take the hauler and make it their own.
RC Patina guy re-visited the guys over at RC review for another great interview to discuss the Redcat COE, as well as his customizations and thoughts on the build as a whole. If you happened to miss his last interview with them, fear not because we covered that one as well which you can read here.
Check out the interview above, and be sure to hit RC Patina with a follow, and RC Review with a sub if you’re feeling the work these guys do to push the community forward with great content and innovation.
