If your LHS doesn't carry them, then you might as well deal direct in the USA... www.horizonhobby.com

Use the international store locator to see if you have a retailer nearby. http://www.horizonhobby.com/StoreLocatorView

The 18 is a great option that would be hard to ever out-grow. I use the 10t out of preference but you can't go wrong either way.

I hear a lot about this speckrum radio... Are people using a specific model. I have a old futaba 4 channel stick radio.

I would prefer a radio that had a steering knob and 3 position switch for the transmission...

I might take you up on that.... I was last fully active was this hobby about 10 years ago, and i can see alot has changed. Would like to see what options we have today. Most of the rc car guys I know just use 2 channel and are not fully up to speed with what works best for the semi trucks.
