Has anybody got 5563, the "Diesel Rig" racing truck? What do you think about

I haven't bought it yet, but the wheels definitely appear to be the

It actually doesn't look like the good deal that Model Team sets
usually are.  I mean look at the 5542 helicopter -- 483 pieces for $44,

Plus the 5563 looks dumb.  Only 4 wheels!  What's happening to Model
Team!?
