    Working on it... as James my bday was the 31 of may and my buddy gifted me with this truck . Nice to have a great friend !!!
    don’t know when but will take sometimes before ready .
    huge limitation for me is the radio . 6 channels will not do justice. Highly suggested a 16 channels or up .
    this trucks are a ton of fun . Get one if you can .

      Alright, first attempt was a failure. Didn’t dig it at all, what i call the “ avatar “ moment . Didn’t connect with me . So , back to the sink, wet sending, lot of elbow labor and spray again .
      I start with all gray, mmmhhhh boring, then add red lines , still flat and boring, then 2 color paint.
      Better , i think . Or at list i can sleep better now.
      Assembling and painting are done at night between 2 and 4 am , then run to work .
      just set the MFC unit and everything works great .
      now the fun begins ... 1/2 way done .
      this truck have much less parts of the king hauler,much faster assembling
