OR the same thing but with a F350

OR a bruiser (although I'd be afraid to break it, all of my RCs are runners)

Yeah I would do the Tamiya Trucks. A Knight Hauler with a box or tanker trailer plus every hop up around. Then by a custom made KW900L body for it.

That body is kinda hard to make, but I am ordering a king hauler and manipulating the body into a T800H.

The knight hauler is basically a freightliner, but of 3 different models molded together lol.

Status: offline 		I just did it. My Xray XT8 with RB TM928, ACE DS1015 servo and high power 1/8th starter box is almost perfectly $2000 (in europe). Would be about $1200 in US.
