    I noticed in all of the Youtube vids that people are using toy semi trucks to demonstrate turns so I bought one to practice with :p It is really nice, and I haven't played with toys since I was 10 years old so I am having fun trying to back into tight spots lol. I am trying to get used to turning the wheel the opposite direction you want the trailer to go when backing up.

    You should put it in your pocket and take it to a truck stop. Go in and tell everyone you can back your rig into any spot in the lot. Tell them you want to bet $500 on it and say youll even blindside it in.

    The shifting sound isn't bad, unless you're grinding gears

    Actually it is pretty big, about two feet long and has a good weight to it. It is like a model truck.

    haha funny :)

    A video of my truck or the videos I told you about where I see them use toy trucks? Here are a couple:
