CR Tuned motor, with nice 'grafitti style' graphics..
not sure why Tamiya insist you put this device between two metal parts, i can understand between metal and plastic.. anyway, its in the bin!

Those are some of the coolest cars or well trucks out there, me being a Ford guy the F350 would be my choice. But its astounding that on kits that cost so much money they dont even include ball bearings or oil shocks.

Also, shiftable trannies cost more to make.

i must say even though the build has been left for a couple of weeks, i tried the (friction) shocks, and they were stuck till i gave them a quick pump. ahem.

RE: Lee's Toyota Tundra build thread
gearbox complete....
and attached to chassis rails...
i dont see painting this will make much (if any) difference, so i skipped it.. obviously the fact i could ruin the chrome played a part in my decision..!
good call by Tamiya on the clear and yellow light lenses, i know i would only use clear, but maybe US or other countries might use yellow??
