Scooter, I'm paying another guy on the forums for the chassis. It's not cheap but his work is good.

I'll be doing the easy stuff (electronics, motor, batts, painting the Yota body).

Jake, sweet truck bro. Wish I had 1/2 of those skills. Hope to be at the TTC, but as a spectator. Scale is next on my list..

Yup I did. Used to build 1/24 static models with crazy features like carpeting, proper plug wiring, radiator hoses, fuel and brake lines...I was obsessive.

Plus I filled all the holes (some are not as good as I wanted, but Tamiya puts some in the worst places!) and the "vent trim" at the back of the doors was smoothed out. So after all that and some sanding I went to some Tamiya (read super expensive! lol) Fine Primer. I hope it sticks. Though the hood looks weak since its hand painted. Still also need to finish the grill.

I do need bent axial rod ends (x1...how'd I lose 1?), driveshafts, and it should run then.
