Do you have to use the ts13 gloss with this ts38 gunmetal?

[yamata86]

@PsychoticBovine Nope, you can use just about any clear coat on the paint that you like. It's even possible to throw a matte finish on the ts38 if that what "floats your boat". Truth be told, you don't have to clear coat the paint at all, but I prefer to do it to increase the durability of the paint.

@yamata86 how much was it? and were the lights included?

[yamata86]

@dewalt607 Unfortunately the light/sound kit is a separate purchase from the Truck kit.

The truck is Tamiya kit #58415 and usually cost around $400.

The sound/light kit is Tamiya kit #53957 and is around $300.

The Transmitter/Receiver is a Futaba 4EXA and is about $150.

r the noises r reall O.O

@Roger28107 Sorry, I'm actually not sure where Tamiya records their sounds from. The sound unit on this truck (Tamiya kit #53957) is the same sound unit they use for the Ford F-150 Highlift and the older Toyota 3Speed, so it is pretty safe to assume they didn't record the engine noises from an actual Toyota Tundra. It may not be 100% authentic, but I still like it.

@yamata86 ok, thanks! Appreciate the info!  great looking truck, by the way.

[yamata86]

@MrTELLIETUBBIE Haha, yeah, that's just how it goes.  I don't sweat it.

The transmitter I used was a Futaba 4EXA that I got from Towerhobbies. That was about three years ago and it appears that Futaba has stopped making that Radio. Another one that you could use is the Futaba 4GWD. They sell that one at Towerhobbies for $129.
