I really like Steel toys a lot. They feel meaningful, feel more 'real', don't need as much ballast added, will easily 'win' if somebody accidently hits your truck with theirs, and hurt if you run into somebody.
I do admit there are some really good points to doing electronics swaps in plastic toys, and then there is more time for getting too carried away with random upgrades.

I've barely used the Flex-shaft machine on this one, some soldering... No angle grinders, hammers, punches, haven't even gotten the drill yet. It's pretty weird man!
