I haven't decided on a color yet. But I may have found a co-driver "figure"...

Got my first bruder figure the other day and Im really happy with it and it gives you the benifit of putting then any where or any position, unlike the tamiya or the verkerk ones.....

Got my three servos today two are installed one on reserve for motorized trailer legs.

I currently have a hacked FrSky GT3C doing the radio duties. I have the Shifter servo on a three position switch and now have shift on the fly capability!

I finally got all the light bulbs installed, and the truck finished. It has been a long time coming. This has to be one of the most challenging and satisfying RC builds I have ever done.

I am still working on getting the Beier USM-RC-2 system figured out. I have to make connections to the motor and get some resistors to get the LEDs working. And then I have to figure out how to package it all inside the cab!

That color really pops, I bet it looks even more impressive in the sun.
