I was looking through some you tube videos the other night and ran across some video's of it and like you said "have to" have it.
AGHRMatt,
Thanks for the video!! It looks great I can not wait to get mine!! Just like a little kid, I want it now!!!
Thanks guys,
Jeff
I have to tell you, it was worth the wait, especially with the bonus of being equipped with Proto-3. The lighting is much better, the ditch lights flash more realistically and it operates perfectly with the Proto-2 ES44AC demonstrator. Like an idiot, I didn't film it when I ran them together (maybe this weekend.) I ordered the second test car MTH listed, but I'll have to convert that to scale wheels later.
