Default IDEA Crawler on www.rc-japan.de

Found this thing after following the url on the new kyosho rig photos. Wasn't this on ebay for awhile?

translation from one of thse free language translation websites...

Not of a Japanese, but a taiwanesischen company the Crawler is manufactured, which is to be seen in the pictures.
The chassis is composed of aluminum and polycarbonate elements.
The engine sits central at a transmission box, which makes a quite solid impression.
More information gives it, if I opened axle and central transmission and the first test travels were transacted. The absolutely useless tires are noticeable negatively.
UPDATE: The first test travels are past. First the negative sides: A polycarbonate steering arm, which is to probably function as Servosaver, is broken. Blöderweise sit the screws, the this hold extremely, and/or. are bonded. The lower surface of the chassis offers many possibilities of hooking itself in the area. A Skidplate would be meaningful.
The lower left fold outward, if the Crawler stands on its wheels. On the left of sharpen then at the absorber seaweeds; not necessarily beautifully.
Property: The transmission is manufactured very solid and makes a very long-lived impression. Sealed ball bearings are used. With Crawlern I prefer floating bushings.
Result: The Crawler makes the impression as if he was developed of quite capable engineers, who do not understand however necessarily much about the Crawlerfahren. If one tinkers some more, one can around the successful drive - develop which heart of each Crawlers a very fine Kriecher.
