That truck looks great! I'm curious about this statement from the auction page: "To keep with the scale appearance, all body mounting has been done under the body with screws."
"Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? ... OK, well, the button on the side. Is it glowing?... Yeah, you need to turn it on. Err, the button turns it on. Yeah, you do know how a button works, don't you? No, not on clothes." - Roy (The IT Crowd)

Hey Dragon,

Thanks for the compliment.  In the RC world,  the term "scale" not only refers to the size of a model compared to its full size counterpart, but also to the level of detail that makes the model appear more accurate to its full size counter part.  You will see this term used in this way by several RC modelers that put painstaking effort into small details to making their model look more realistic.  Check out sites like http://www.scale4x4rc.org and http://store.rc4wd.com/Scale-Accessories_c_15.html to get a good idea of what I am talking about. 

So, as I used the term, having no visible body mounts make this RC model appear more "scale" to the real life 1:1 vehicle ;)

Thanks,
Jason
