Damn dude, where have u been? LOL Yeah man, they've been out since Jan., but a lot of people didn't want to drop the $$ to try it. I've already had an ascender, wraith, and two scx10's that I modded the crap out of, wanted something new this time around.

Thx man! I got it from Banggood.com. I found a discount code online which gave me 10% off, so it cost $554 shipped to my door. The packaging is 1st rate and so far, the machining is all spot on.

TFL is very big with boats, which is how I came across the brand. I have one of thier full carbon fiber Mystic boat hulls that when I'm done with it, will be a 105 mph missle! All the boat hardware that they manufacture is very well machined. When you do a search for this truck, prices are all over the place for it. Seen it as high as $775. Good thing I found it at banggood. From placed order to my door was a few days past three weeks. Not bad at all.

The cool thing that really got me to pull the trigger on it was this one video I watched on it. This guy was first pulling his daughter who was riding on a kid's toy scooter thing. Then, his son gets on it with her and starts pulling them around the driveway. Next shot, the daughter actually sits on the truck and he starts driving her around on it. That tells me that the welding on tube chassis is pretty strong. Plus, when he was pulling the kids around on the scooter, the truck had zero torque twist. I just had to go for it.

There was one over on URC as well. Looks like a nice kit - the axles look excellent. Assume they are Axial V1 compatible?

Lol. That's good stuff right there. If the axles and shocks aren't bent then I'd call it a solid rig. Lol.

Here's how the body is laid out. Body, floor, and firewall. All have barely any flex...very good fiberglass work.

Cool kit! Been watching these on youtube. If I already didn't have a ton of projects. I would probably own one by now. The one question I have for the rcc family is. Where would this rig place for scale points and which class? I'm going to guess Class "3" because of the full tube chassis.

Your guess on class 3 is probably correct.
