Just to clarify this is the none RC10 and none vintage RC section right :?: , if not I'm ready for a telling :lol:

I haven't picked a paint scheme yet, it's going to be a runner so I think I will stick with white (to hid the scratches when they occur) and some one off decals. It runs on Wild Willy II wheels/tires with a body lift kit but no axle lift.

This is also the first shots with my new camera, I am just learning to drive it. :?

Your going to love the truck. It's just me but I like to paint everything eventhough I know it will get scratched. In fact I did my first boo boo on mine a few days ago. at first I was gutted then I thought, well thats what they are for.

Those F350's are so cool. I want one really bad, but so far I've been able to resist. Man, do I want one.

I'm not too good at painting I'm sure the white will look way better than I can produce. I've run it a few time and I do love it, I don't know how it compares to the original 3 speeds but nothing has fallen off it yet so that has got to be an improvement. :lol:

I waited ages to get one of these, I didn't want to pay the full RRP as I wasn't sure what this 3 speed thing was all about, I bought it from a TC member built but never ran, fully ball raced and with a Scollins interior at the right price. I would recommend this car to anyone wanting a scale truck and chassis it just looks soooooooo good and runs soooooo nice 8)

I have one too and I love it. I can't believe how hefty it is. It's not very fast but it's perfect for scooting around the backyard and driving over rocks and tree roots.

They are very similar to how the old hilux ran except better. The transmission is more stout and so are the axles. I have done a few things with mine. I replaced the steel chassis with an aluminum one and installed an MFC-02 sound and light unit and aluminum wheels

Ferreti,
You could just paint it white and don't forget the glass coats.
That way if it scratches you won't see too much, but it also won't start going yellow.

That's a good idea :idea: , I never even thought about it discolouring. :?
