Looking good. I'm diggin' the fenders and headlights! Man, those Servonaut units are very nice. I'm hoping to get one too. You didn't pick the turbocharged engine sound effects though? Nice video footage.

Black and yellow you can never go wrong with these 2 colors...I like they break up with the striping and looks great on the fenders too...

Thanks! Yes they are really nice, im glad i ended up using one. sometimes its hard to hear the turbo but it is on. I even went back to make sure it was turned up. i think it might be from the noise of the electric motor drowning it out

I've told you in the past how much I love that truck. Every time I see it I remember what my favorite RC truck is. I must have it! Would you ever consider selling? .... I'm sorry , I just had to ask....lol
