KK thanks man, can you update this when they get info on the truck?

I have ordered from stella and my tamiya kit arrived in Canada within 5 days. Make sure you get their EMS shipping since you can track it on-line.

Man... Im going all black with chrome too....

or maybe pink...

ayk, good idea for the paint scheme! Thanks!

jk, I think I would like to go with red and chrome

The price doesn't seem to matter much anymore...of course, I will search around to find the best deal. But this truck is a MUST BUY. Although I think by the time this truck is released, I will be into my studies again. It will be a torture to see it on my shelf and not build it until probably Christmas!!!

ayk_driver · 08-08-2006, 08:49 PM

ha! i mite do dark blue tho... or both

i know i will be making steel cross members and ditching the resin ones... im happy about the steel chassis... but not the $627 MSRP

imported_4wdmt · 08-08-2006, 09:51 PM

wow, nice find jchung! I just cant imagine how excited you are with this new F350

, lol.

geez, so many bearings to be replaced:

Kit includes a total of 42pcs of bearings (35pcs x 1150, 4pcs x 1260, 2pcs x 850 size metal and 1pc of 1050 size ball bearings).

Metal bearings require periodic application of grease to maintain performance. Separately available ball bearings do not require this treatment, and are highly recommended.

TAMIYA, make BBs standard on all of your kits! They did it on the Dark Impact.
