Axles look interesting. The rig screams beef but the layout isn't comp friendly but it looks to make a hell of a basher.

Go-Go-Gadget-Rockcrawler!!!

I especially like the one shock on a bent, high-clearance, lower link zip-tied to the chassis version. That'll keep the links from flopping over. I wonder if the ties come in custom colors ;)

We designed, tested and manufacture “ALL” the parts in house. All parts are cut and turned using our CNC machines.
This crawler is like most of the RC cars, it is “Made In Taiwan”.

it is like most rc cars hmm.......

Interesting 8 shock setup. Looks a little on the overblown side, probably easier to just properly tune a 4 shock setup.

Yea, what's with the zip-ties around the lower links? In a press release photo? That looks hack.

What's with those tires? Those ain't hookin' up.

It is proof that crawling is definitely growing in popularity if nothing else...
