DID THUNDERBIRD 2 INSPIRE TRI-ANG'S SPACEX?

The other day I asked if any of the SWORD toys could act like Thunderbird 2 and house pod vehicles. The answer was not really so I began to wonder.


We know that the Thunderbirds Radio Transmitter Car [and variations] and the SpaceX Tractor are very similar looking. What if SpaceX were originally intended as pod vehicles for a larger toy? I know I'm just flying a kite here. Are SpaceX toys the right scale to fit inside the JR21 Thunderbird 2 pod?


I don't have JR21's TB2 so if anyone has got one [or the MOLTO version] along with a few SpaceX toys maybe you could have a go, send a snap or two and let us all know!
