Took it to the club meet today put it in the sand pit and had its first load of dirt. Forgot the camera:( But it performed brilliantly

Nice. It's a real treat to open each box then see a true work of art. Congrats.

Very high like-to-have factor. ScaleArt makes truly beautiful models. Your truck is as nice a piece of art as anything else on that table (last pic).

WOW!!! Nice looking truck buddy! That is next on my list for sure. How much did they charge you to build it? Not that I would do that but just curious since ScaleArt's website does not have a price on complete kits. Mine is going to be Orange RAL......When I get one that is ;). Thanks for sharing.

The build cost was about $900, I'am glad that I had it made the instructions from ScaleArt could be better. One of the guys here is still building after many months and many more $$$ because of building errors.

Very nice - I'm in the process of building mine... and yes it does take a while! You made a wise choice having it built by them..!

How comes it came from TTM and not scaleArt?

Also, do you have the 3 speed gearbox with lockable centre diff fitted?

I buy a lot of my things from TTM, they give me fantastic service and support and it was put together buy them also. It also has the new 46w motor and the 3 speed gearbox with the centre diff lock

Do you mind sharing how much it set you back complete? You can send me a pm if you rather not share out loud. Thank you!

That makes sense - Sven is a nice guy. Really helpful like you say. Its a lovely truck once you start using it, you'll wonder why you never had one before. I haven't quite finished building mine, but have used it loads!

Wow! You know it's a work of art when it comes in it's own wooden box! O.o Looks awesome, but it would look even better in the dirt! :D

I know why I didn't buy one before and it had something to do with $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
When my wife comes home from school camp I will have the cameras to show some video
