Welcome to the board:D Steves rails are top notch they are milled so the taper at the end is part of it. A mfu is a very nice addition you will definitely like it. East coast truckers has a lot of active members and a great group of guys be sure to check their shows out and meet them ;)

Thanks everyone I'm in Lancaster PA area currently I'm recovering from injury from work been through 2 surgeries sounds like more to go so at this point I cant travel to much I'm trying to build (currently a buddy/son does assembly for me) a truck for my mom who drove long haul otr 18wheeler for 25 yrs when I was younger I loved riding with her she is no longer drives otr/18wheeler we had a primitive rc bigrig when I was young and spent hours competing backing in to homemade docks and now with the builds I see here I would love to give her a truck to use she always talks about our times with old rc

The truck she drove and liked the most was 87 international eagle it was hers and it had 187 chicken lites and more chrome then you could believe I got lots of allowance for ppolishing it not sure we can handle that much detail and lm fairly new to rc so I was thinking the one on eBay may be a good start the other sites I use for my axial wraith don't list the black edition and want way more without mfu so all advice is greatly appreciated thank you
