Demand for Tamiya's innovative R/C Ford F-350 High-Lift shows no signs of slowing, and now we are releasing two factory finished full operation sets to enable fans to enjoy this R/C truck right out of the box.

About the model
- 1/10 scale factory finished R/C Ford F-350 High-Lift pick-up truck.
- Highly detailed injection molded body is expertly-painted for a cool and stylish look.
- Metal-plated parts such as roll bar, front/rear bumpers, wheels, and more further enhance realism.
- Durable metal ladder frame, lockable differential, and adjustable leaf spring suspension with aluminum friction dampers ensure excellent off-road performance.
- 3-speed transmission for smooth low-speed driving and exciting on-the-fly gear shifting.
- Comes with Pick-Up Truck Multi-Function Control Unit MFC-02 (ITEM 53957) pre-installed to enable complete control of realistic light, sound, and vibration actions.
- Includes Futaba 4-channel transmitter and 2 TSU-01 servos.
- Running battery & charger are separately required.

Cool, and tempting for people like me who love instant gratification. However, it must cost a fortune with the multi-function unit in there. I'll probably still have to go the kit route if I spring for a Hi-Lift, to save money. I don't want the MFU anyways.

Wonder how much this bad boy is going to cost???

Looks good though. I remember I bought the Knight Hauler RTR and I had fun, but had no one to do rodeo's with...

True. I believe it's a Tamiya USA website exclusive meaning that you can't buy it elsewhere. They're supposed to be offering a RTR version of the CR01 Land Cruiser as well.

These are available through our website only and "VERY" limited as they take a good amount of time to build and paint. (All done by hand)

I can imagine. You guys should do a video showing them being hand built, I think it would be a good advertisement for the product.
