"it handles and jumps similar to that of a stadium truck...without the use of sway bars"

Looks like those 18 years of experience payed off in the design of a rock crawler!

if you click on accesories they list servo mounts maxx adapters and some other stuff. would be nice to have more options for stuff like that. but not if its going to be over priced like that chassis.

however. it is pretty damn sweet that tower sells it.

How about those extra long shocks and all of that crazy articulation. Rokzilla features a revolutionary single pivot double triangle suspension design that closely replicates that of a real crock crawler. There are new lower shock mounts that attach the shocks to the a point that is actually beneath the axle line allowing such extra long shocks to be fitted. The best thing about Rokzilla is that it's not just a great crawler, it handles too! With it's very stable suspension platform and 3.00" of vertical wheel travel, it handles and jumps similar to that of a stadium truck...without the use of sway bars!

It says it!

Hey as long as their clod to maxx adapters use the hex and not the splines, TLT guys can run some smaller maxx tires.

I'm surprised that not many people on here have ESP Clod to Maxx adapters.... They've been out for quite a long time. I know MTPA used to sell them back in the day. All aluminum and cost a pretty penny too

it's good to see a company trying there hand at rock crawling, just a shame they used thier 18 years experiance instead of reading forums like rccrawler to find out what really works.
I'll continue scratch building, it's more fun.
