Default Iveco P80 stepvan - UPS delivery

Iveco P80 Daily CNG stepvan, in German 'United Parcel Service' livery (from Happy People RC)



A while back I was on one of those German websites, and found something i really needed.

Eventually i found some place that i could get one, with shipping to opposite side of the world costing more than the rc car... then a DHL truck delivered a UPS truck to my house. (Still no luck on finding the UPS Jungheinrich forklift though)



This is my Step-van, i don't know my Real-van...



Ok, so it's not quite my favorite Package-Car ever, the old UPS 'bubble nose' cars were much sexier looking. This one has Italian styling. Plus it runs on CNG, or i guess this one is Electric, so we've got that alternate fuel / low emissions thing going.



Plans?
Electronics to drive the truck. 6ch, 30a esc, mg90 servo.

Lights. This needs to have *ALL* of the lights. Probably getting a Heyok 'the light controller' since its about the only option i can find with automatic hazard lights

Also later i'm wanting to check out options for a 'Battle-switch' to disconnect the motor so it can randomly be stopped for long times blocking traffic without fear of a runaway.

I'm going to have to practice for this No reverse, No left turns driving thing...
