    I still haven't seen it posted but am assuming lexan. Metal would be awesome but expensive to produce and very heavy. I dont see any lines defining individual body panels so if metal it would be stamped sheet and there are to many draws and pockets for that i think to be pulled from one piece. I think lexan and not ABS because in one pic you can see through the inside of the back fender:p

    Anyone else notice anything odd about the tranny? Its got a LS looking intake on it so its obviously modeled to be a motor looking unit but then its mounted in the center of the truck????:confused: Why not make it look like a transmission instead?

    Good eye. After looking at what you pointed out I agree that it looks like Lexan. Regarding the transmission, you must mean the photos with the body off. The interior shot looks like they did make a transmission hump just ahead of the gear shift lever.

    The thing that is molded like a motor is the actual motor housing that connects to the tranny not the whole tranny

    Oh, OK. I thought he was talking about the bump in the body shell inside the cabin by the firewall where the transmission hump is.

    I know a guy on facebook who said he went to RC Addiction( Hobby shop in Central Point) and hes getting one and the lady said he should have it be Thanksgiving. So I think its going to release very soon.
