Well after all that I bought the RTR on the ebay link along with some alloy control arms from the US to replace the plastic ones as they seem to be the biggest complaint of RTR owners, price for the truck was $350 and $17 for 4 alloy links with tierod ends (ebay US, and that includes shipping)
Now I just need a 45T motor ($18 from the US) and I'm set for now.
Cheers
Steve
