Cheers, Lee.

Ebay have them going buy it now for cheaper, but i suspect the leadtime will also be silly.
Although in the UK we can now get them for as little as £26 inc postage. Defo worth buying up a few to use for numerous projects like i have seen on this forum

Yeah mine arrived
Gonna order up winch and a small smoke generator. Plus make up a few things for scale. Love the work in this and other truck threads. All great work for inspiration

Can't wait to see the winch, Will. I had the same thought myself. I also bought some better tow hooks for the front bumper fir less than $4 USD so I'll post photos as soon as they get here. They're 1/10 so might be too big, but at that price I can afford to take a chance.

You're quite welcome, Carl. I think it's a good idea to check the flash sales daily because you never know what might pop up. I was also looking at this

Not much of a sale, but still an interesting piece, has anyone tried one of these multi armed thingamablobbies?

Moving on to the first light test



More to come ...

Found this battery on Amazon it's a 1200mah lipo that is very small. Should give me great run times. It's measurements are approximately 2.25 inches long 1.25 inches wide and 3/4" tall. I've fit it inside the tray to give you scale.

Should pack a nice punch for our little trucks.

If I use the tray and modify it slightly it may fit under the hood easily.

Here's the link. Not as cheap as the one Gary found but it's a much higher rating.
