Anyone know if you can buy the lightning decals seperate? I have an HPI F150 flareside and its just a regular truck, i dont know why they didnt make a lightning, but i need some decals its too plain.

But, it had the normal badging, etc.

BlkBanshee is right.. it was there, although it was one of those slower red ones rather than a fast black one... he he

I have the truck Ijust need a new body so that i can paint it black. I messed up and bought a pre built. Anyone got a unpainted or nice black body for the Tamiya?

I tried Bill and so far he can't find one for me

They are the things that control, throttle and stering, little black boxes.

yeah, they are called servos. if you have a 1/10 scale car, i like the futaba magnum jr. it comes with radio and 2 servos for steering and throtle. you can also go with the magnum sport. it is a little less expensive but just about as good. im sure everyone has their own favorites, i just like the futaba's...chris

Wow - I haven't been on the thread in a while - nice to see it rolling :) It's supposed to arrive today! WOOHOO! :)

* Konig: Can't talk price on the forum :( But it was under $100 without the electronics... email me if you want links, pricing and whatnot...

* chimshady1: HOLY SHnnnnn...! Race? Um... no ;)

* BDAZSVT: Go to the Tamiya website, you can order replacement parts (like the clear body) from them pretty readily.

I can't wait to get this thing out of the box and pull it together! I'm using the control unit from an old Tmaiya Hornet I had a while ago - I was reading in one of the other forums that there is a transmission system similar to the "select trac" out there...

If only the big one were this easy to mod ;)
