24 views and no comments? do i spam that much?

how can you not dig this?

i'm sorry hoopty, but if i talk about it, it'll make me want one more than i already do.

sweet though, huh?

Awesome. Nice to see something new and original. Thunder Tech rules.

Wonder if the AE baja truck body will fit on it?

hella sweet...

i just saw it for the first time today, so maybe its old news. i'm so gonna preorder one, might even consider sellin a 10 for one.

ya, i think one of my clods might have to go bye-bye.

or be veeeeeeeeeeeeery nice to the wife.

I have seen this posted on other boards. It is a sweet ride but it doesn't stir anything in me. Not like the High Lift did.

i had plans for a high lift in the near future, but not now... i already got a pretty pimp little scale 2.2 4x4 anyway.

i just wish i could get one already. i've only known of it for a few hours now and i already cant wait...

what's a high lift?

i got one question about the high lift. do you need a 4 channel radio or would a 3 channel work? seems to me just a 3 way selectable 3rd channel would be enough to shift with right?

thats the biggest reason i havent got one, i HATE stick radios...

not sure, but i think you need the 4th channel for reverse? not sure though.

As long as the three channel radio has 3 positions then it will work. I bought 4 channel stick radios with movable trims becuase the upcoming MFU will need the trims to do extra features.

I think the High lift is hot looking. I like it so much I bought another

whats an mfu? what other features besides shifting and steering is there on it?

The MFU is the multi function unit. I have to say it is hot $hit. I have them on my semis. they provide digitally recorded sound, Headlights, tail lights stop lights, blinkers back up sound and a whole slew of other sounds. what ever you do do click this link. http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56313hauler/hauler.mpg it's a 24 meg video of the Knight hauler in action. You can see all the realistic sounds and stuff. Tamiya is going to be producing a MFU for the high lift with a V8 sound.

My brother is in line to buy that TT truck. He's wanted a REALISTIC race truck since his first Subaru Brat donned a McAllister Toyota body (that I painted with Testors model paint by hand).

It's a pretty cool piece. I'd love to see 8-10 of those in a race on a REALISTIC off road track—not these X-games ridiculous excuses for circus off road stunt tracks that you see everywhere today. If that was something that ever happens, I'd buy one.
