Well the kit is 500 at Tamiya so im sure it will be at least 100 more. Why would you want a rtr anyways? Im serious building tamiya kits is GREAT.

The tundra looks like one of Tamiyas more complicated kits. It has a LOT of parts from the video I saw. Here is MEDiCs Ultimate build thread.

If you want i'll build one for you. You buy the kit and electronics and i'll put it together no charge. I love building Tamiya kits. I've build right around 100 of them including an F350. All you'll need to do is paint the body.

john 01734 would you really build it for me, ok this is my number one question, do you just need to paint the body, or do you have to paint all the little parts to? and what channel radio do you need

Yes I'm willing to build it for you. The last one I built the guy couldn't afford the controller right away so he just had me assemble the truck with bearings. I'll have to look at it but I believe it requires a 4 channel controller. As for the body all you have to do it paint the main body and a few trim pieces. PM me if you're seriously interested.

The RTR will be in the $1000 range, I am sure.. consider that it will come w/ the MFU...

Buy a RTR, build one yourself, or have john01374 build it for you. If you get one you'll love it. All the Tamiya 3speeds are a ton of fun to drive. Personally, I enjoy the build process, but you said you want to drive it asap, so building may not be for you. If, on the offchance, you do decide to try to build one yourself, the instructions that Tamiya provides are very well done.

$1200.00 delivered ...and worth EVERY penny!! I'm a nurse and my hours are long and unpredictable so having them build it with all the extras was a blessing ! Now on my free time I"m blastin around instead of still building it !

It's the same chassis as the F-350 Hilift and the Hilux, which is good. Everyone who considers themselves an RC hobbyist should have at least one car based on that platform [&:]
