they could have dropped that body about a foot and a half for the picture, would have looked a little better.

TCS has them listed for 290.00

I think I'd still buy the kit version because of all the extra parts you get.

Well, their's also a lot of different parts. Here's the list:

-Gearing changed to use a 20-tooth pinion (14-tooth pinion was included in the kit, not included with the RTR) for increased top speeds
- Truck includes a 27-turn stock motor for good speed and plenty of torque.
- Molded plastic links used throughout.
- Molded plastic straight axles replace knuckle-style design, which used turnbuckles. This is a much sleeker design to prevent from getting hung on rocks.
- Adjustable slipper clutch included.
- Front differential and rear locker

It look to me that they try to make it more of a basher truck than a comp rig...

Rear straight axle might be a good thing tough...

Well guys, I work at a hobby shop so my opinion on this truck is that it will probably get alot more people interested in crawling without them having get a full blown crawler to start out with.


This is probably a good thing for this style of the hobby and for RCC.

Exactly, judging that its setup as basher and not crawler. We are going to hear a lot of repeat stuff on locking diffs, motors and gearing.
