It's mine ;o). Jokes apart, 2 things that I noticed compared to my beloved old generation 3 speeds:
First one, this truck is permanent 4WD, in all 3 speeds. Second, great care has been taken with the steering as it is ready to be fitted with ball bearings. So really Mr Tamiya you improved where it was needed. THank you! Back to the pictures, I have just finished the gearbox and I have fitted an Integy Lathe Motor 55 Turn single. In the manual they say no other motors must be used but I think they are concerned more by the possible use of a 9 turn modified motor, or maybe a brushless ;o)

Ho, one more thing, I was about to fit the Jugg 2 lighting set but in fact there is special holes in the headlights and the rear lights for tons of LEDs, different again from the previous body. So I can only hope but I can see futur working indicators coming with headlights, braking lights etc...who knows. Come on make it that good Mr Tamiya!



Heaven !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
