RE: Lee's Tamiya Volvo/Reefer build thread
Wow... amazing!! Wish I had enough for a truck build... maybe one of these days... Do you have the details of the person who helped you with the custom decal printing?? I was planning on doing a Volvo myself, but I added up the costs, and decided to stick with upgrading my TT01...

That first pic reminded me of my future day cab king hauler project. So many projects, so little time.

The big red truck was mental.. three drive units (all steered together) and the height of the load could be raised/lowered..!! [X(]

They're not that expensive.. bear in mind you wont need to replace parts like on 1/10 when you hit stuff..
You can get stuff shipped in from Hong Kong as well..
