no but i really fancy having a go- its the cost that puts me off, i see they are alot cheaper on ebay from a hong kong seller, but i expect the importation taxes will be added and stuff......

plus by the time you have tractor unit , trailer, baterries, 4ch radio and all the sundries it ends up being a small fortune,

and i cant justify it right now.....(well i can its the wife that can't,)

especially as i have a half complete RC projects such as

topaz launch ( marten howes$& bayliss)
a 1;12 brede class lifeboat
a bibber midget submarine
an anteo tug by mantua models
an open steam launch ( hull and plan aquired at a boot fair)
and a 1:24 scale clyde puffer

add to that a half started new N scale model railway layout and an electric park flyer model aircraft.......

when i get his lot finished i may go for one of the american style trucks from tamiya !

The cost is high, just have to keep it away from the wife!!!!!

I've just finishes a Martin, Howes & Bayliss Vigilant ( except for completing the R/C side ) and have a 50% Fleetscale Missouri on the go and have just started a Jokita HMS Victory. Just fancied a change from Boats, not aircraft as they are prone to crash !!!!!
