I chose this particular one because it's actually three trucks-in-one. It came complete with a Proline 'Bushwacker' (Toyota Landcruiser but-for-the-name due to copyright restrictions) shell and a Proline tuber chassis as well as with all its standard running gear. Also included were a Novak Rooster speed controller, a Novak Mercury shielded 40Mhz receiver, a spare AX10 centre section and wheel weights for the two front wheels.
The plan here initially is to actually build a camera car, so that I can film one truck by following it with another. So its first guise will be in tuber mode. Already I've got it assembled and running. It took about three hours. Pictures to follow tomorrow if the Sun comes out to play!
(How much you ask? £160 including post and packaging. It came all the way from Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Its arrival was only shortly delayed by three feet of snowfall.)
