Radio Controlled F150Lightning

Granted, I own an f150 XLT (didn't have the $ for the lightning ) but I *did* have the cash to get the Radio Controlled version! It's arriving today (or so says UPS)... I'll post pics when it's done!

Here's the link:
Tamiya America - Ford F150 SVT LIghtning

LOL! He's probably got hundreds of dollars in his RC car - He knows it's the only way he'll ever smoke a Lightning!

I can see him now: "Dude, I just SMOKED a modded-out Lightning in my RSX!"

HAA HAHAHA! Love it!

Next "fast and the furious" movie - all shot with RCs...
did anybody else notice there were no SVT vehicles in that movie? Wonder why? Methinks it would make the rest of them look bad...

A quick and unpaid recommendation to others out there that want this...contact Bill Murray, a long-time member of this site and I would venture to guess he could get this for you. He operates the largest Hobbytown USA in the country and is a genuinely good guy.

I don't remember seeing that? Not that it wasn't there... maybe it was moving too fast for me to have noticed...

In the movie, the red L was the parts truck he drove.

Yeah, it was a Lightning. You just missed it, because you obviously don't care enough about our beloved trucks!

But, it had the normal badging, etc.

I got the Tamiya. I planned on modding the heck out of it. It is wild fast right out of the box! Granted, it could be lots faster, but just like the real truck, traction is becoming a HUGE issue! Even with 4wd it blows mad donuts! I just took a digital pic of my license plate and after a little magic, I now have a perfect "mini me!"

Anybody that wants one definately get in touch with Bill. I know in the past he had a good price on a RC Lightning with some mods.
