Mind you the KH tractor kit is only (only, lol) around £375 as a kit without RC gear.

Wow, that is huauge! I always wondered what these were like in real life. How is the 3-speed gearbox operated? Is it done by a servo or just manually set it in a gear?
Edit: this looks unbelievably complicated!

Edit: this looks unbelievably complicated! They are indeed huge. Gearbox is servo controlled, so I’ll need to set it up with my transmitter. Hoping to use my wheel and trigger setup than moving to twin stick, and not have quite a complicated setup. The system I have coming has an app for Bluetooth control. You can get a CVT transmission for these too which is interesting.

I have a Tamiya F350 3 speed and you just move the stick up or down for the gears. Top, middle or bottom ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) A switch button one would be better, as steering and acceleration is all on one stick, and the gears are on the other.

Gah did it have a buy it now? No, was cheaper when I linked it but no BIN. Just got to look for poor listings and whatnot. I found that one window shopping for trailers on eBay. They do pop up from time to time.

Got the radio gear working and set the gearshift and steering servos back up. Threw in a TBS mini I had previously programmed to go in my WPL URAL4320 just for the noise. Chuffed with that!

Love it! What's the plan for the paint work??
I have a second F350 with no gearbox and I'm wondering if a hauler gearbox would fit to make it into a rwd f350. They look very similar.

I have some Vauxhall Mustard Yellow and the original stripe kit for a 70’s vibe. Just starting to struggle with the paint on the cab. Where it’s adhered it’s like rock hard. Nothing will shift it so lots of careful sanding is now the order of the day. Can’t say for sure with the gearbox. I know people must be able to either 4/6wd-ise this gearbox or use a different similar box though. I know you can get a CVT transmission for these too which is pretty cool, I suppose. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Are they RWD, but with the drive to both rear axles? Or just a single powered rear axle?

If you don't mind the smell, Dettol is a great paint stripper for plastic models.

I've stripped previously painted plastic models, and even pre-painted metal bodies with Dettol with great success. Has to be the old school generic Lucozade coloured stuff though.
