Just for FYI. I just took delivery on one with "Proto Sound". It was worth
the wait! The detailing is great, for a semi-scale version, and it operates
very smoothly. The sound system is really neat too!(although the radio
chatter is a bit bogus but you can turn it off). It adds a lot to the
operating experience. It even comes with optional truck skirting that you
can install, or leave off to suit your self.
