Not with that company... that 375 is probably just one of a hundred that they have... vantagetes is based out Edmonton, Alberta.

I've heard of pushing dirt off a platform above the truck but that's a new one on me. I like that out-of-the-box thinking.

It's an E max 2 speed trans . It works great , but, they're a lil big for a 14th/16th scale highway truck . It moved a good couple yards of fill today with the naggin tire issue but fun as H311

no I got a paint scheme in mind just tryin to figure out how to mask all the lil stars in it . I could send it to Spudd but I'll probably never see it again I got a few little details to do then I can paint it . Problem may be shutting it down to paint when the quarrying starts , guess I'll have to just throw some construction orange on it .

For the stars, I assume you are thinking of the 1976 bi-centennial red, white & blue. I just so happen to have a hole punch that cuts stars. I did a test by applying blue painters tape to a sheet of .005" styrene, & it punched thru with ease. Then with some patients, i peeled off the blue "Masking" star. So with that, i would spray the area the stars are needed in white, then carefully punch & apply the stars where needed, then paint the blue over the masked stars...... You can order one cheap on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-235370.../dp/B0033PCMMI

Volume wise, a ton (2000lbs) fills what area of your trk box Steve?
