If it included radio/MFU/servo the price of it would be $1000 ish not the $500mark that I've hear it will be going for.......

I find it very interesting that in step 27 it says if using the motorized support legs to not attach the fenders. But in the video from the Nuremburg show they are dropping the trailer with the motorized legs and the fenders are on.

I agree I was thinking the same thing after watching the video. Maybe on smooth flat ground it's fine but going up and down driveways or say at a show where there's a bridge or something it will hit the full fenders.

This is one of things I will be investigating during the build. The Scania fendered trucks state the same thing.

For those of you who want this truck, I found out some good news from Tower Hobbies. They say it should be available late February in stead of late March. Now here's the really good news...The price has been dropped down to $449.97. That is more realistic imo. Just thought I'd share this with you all. And now I can say early birthday present for me.

I'm so happy it's less than $450. I was a little shocked by that first price of over $600. I need a new build to start on.
