Finally a new truck from Fly. It seems that the Ranault truck is going to be with us in time for XMas.

I like lines of it Gio.
Looks like it should be easy to tune aswell.

I am with you Bob. This looks really nice. I wish that Fly would update the MAN and the Merc (they have done with the Buggyra truck).

Another great contender would be the IVECO truck.
This thread is ancient, I know... but I'd like to know if either of you guys purchased this Renault truck, and how it runs compared to the others, and if you've upgraded them in any way. Thanks!
The Renault truck runs similar performance to the others. It has the same mechanicals.

I agree with updating the MAN and Mercedes, long overdue.
I have not purchased this truck yet...to be honest since it was not a hard seller I was expecting to come up at a discount price but nothing as yet.
I think the chassis of this truck is similar to the Man track so it should be not too shabby.
If you want to upgrade its components I would go for the NSR route (motor, front and rear wheels, axle and gears). Expensive but totally worth it.
Thanks for the quick replies! I ended up buying it along with a white Buggyra that I'll turn into something. Yes the NSR upgrade is a must for the Fly trucks - I totally agree they transform them! I'll update with pics when it arrives.
The price of it wasn't going up or down I feel. I've been looking at it since it came out. The Buggyra that I want another of however, the silver MK002/B ETRC 2003 is always going for more than US $110, which is crazy!
Those Buggyras are very rare...they are good runners so people bought them to destroy them!
I have some...I wish I could get the blue one.

Look what arrived today!
Here's the white Buggyra... It doesn't have the same engine detail and overall little details as the silver truck I have

and here's the Renault - I'm trying to figure out where lights should go in this thing... It'll be a nice little project to make it pop more and add some little details

Fly has re-released the buggyra but they do not have the same level of details that the orginal trucks had.
Same with the new release of the modern version of hte Buggyra truck: the lights are molded in the plastic.
It seems that they have taken also some shortcuts with the Renault: although some of the modern trucks do not have front lights, they must have rear and brake lights, some have duplicated high up in the rear of the cabin.
Some of the original trucks came with lights (you can see the metallic grey Man truck below).
I run them digital with oXigen so adding lights was not too bad.
With Merc I did put a small LED in the central light in the rear cabin.

I love them! I wish someone would make the more modern versions.

I have a black/red Racer Design one. But rare enough I can't seem to find a picture.

You can see better with the lights off.



And I think they have tried different types of LEDs
