Motor and gearbox and fifth wheel fitted. Had to wire it up to make sure it all works ( and it does ) so studying the instructions in depth pays off. Steering and driving all good. Gonna need a lot of space to drive this, even without a trailer.

Waiting for paint now. Decided on pearl blue.

New motor arrived this morning, so I'll crack on after I've been to see the physio. If I'm able.

Quite liking the pearl blue, so I think I will be spraying it in that colour.

I had the same problem posting on here. when you look at the top left on of the menu bar you will see what looks like a light switch, you need to click on it and then you should be able to put pics on. hope this helps.

Pretty close Sean-vrs, including tax

I thought it was pretty good as it came with everything apart from paint to get it up and running.
Had a productive day today, servos and chassis done. Boy is this thing gonna be big.

Hi OH HOW ORIGINAL. Got it from Banzai Hobby ( Japan ) as a full operation kit. Comes with controller, mfc, battery, servos. Grand total of 82,100,00 Japanese Yen. Can't fault them, it arrived in UK quickly but was held by customs.

Hi Pistonhead. Too much and from Banzai Hobby ( Japan ) Good quick service from them. Only took awhile to arrive because of customs.

Undecided on colour yet. Normally paint everything BLACK, but I think this would benefit with something different, open to suggestions.

Not today but Saturday.

Can't wait to get started on it. Read the instruction book twice already. I think this could take sometime.

Nice looking truck.

Just checked the tracking. Its in customs in Coventry. Crossed fingers It gets out without any duty to pay.

Sorry for the two posts, was trying to work out how to use quote. Got it in the end.

Checking out some Google images.... Damn that's a nice looking truck! Good choice.
Cheers for that. Can't wait to start building it, I'm worse than a kid having to wait for it to arrive.
