thanks again lads.

The kit came from Hong Kong from a contact I still keep in touch with from my racing days, I used to buy a ton of stuff from over there. You can get them on ebay here but are a little bit more expensive.

Bear in mind you'll need at least a 4 channel radio, 3 servos and a ton of paint to finish it.

the MFU unit cost nearly the same as the truck did!

then each trailer did cost the same as the truck lol

In short it's a silly expensive hobby, but it kept me busy for literally months and it does keep you entertained for hours after.

the other half didn't see it as time well spent, I more or less took over the dining room table for 3 months!

That is an epic build,

I don't think I'd have the skill or patience for something like that.

Do you get many roo's in Scotland

Looks great Ross! I'm jus starting an r/c track in my sons room. Track will be wide enough for 4x 1:24 cars (about 40cm wide) can't really find cheap but good quality cars with lights at this scale though, well, not many options! Plus most brands all use same frequency!!
