Welcome on board! I didn't even know there was such a thing as an F15 4x2.
Just goes to show how much I know. Anyhow, sorry I cannot answer your question. I would assume something radio related, but not with a g.s. body.
Rob B. might be able to answer you. She looks to be quite a tidy wee truck. What part of the country are you in?
Can you show a photo of the battery setup?

Thank you Terry.
All in all, nice little truck that would ride a little better than a 4x4.
I haven't been able to look at my book for a while.
Cheers.

Mathew, you are lucky to have such an original and complete example to work on. It is a great addition to the NZ CMP fleet.
Cheers.
