Default Scale build of real truck(video/finish pics)

After getting my new 1:1 scale tundra I decided to build a 1/10th scale of it. I have the body made and waiting on parts to finish the chassis. The model will have sound and full working lights.

Scott ,
You gone use the Tamiya MF unit for the sounds and lights ?
It has some awesome sound and light effects
Here are a couple of the videos I was telling you about from my Tundra :

I work for Toyota in Princeton, Indiana and we used to build the 1:1 there until they moved the Tundra to Texas. Cool truck, both of them

The Tundra model is all done now. For the lights I used the 3 racing light kit and for sound I used the TBS Mini Programmable Soundunit. The 3 racing light kit is awesome for it being under $30.
