Ill have to track down my spy photos from I-hobby. The electronics seem cheap china stuff but the axles and chassis werent bad.
The bumpers are easily removed.
The "pro" version will be out in a couple months, $350 rtr and much improved over this version.

looks like its got a tone of understeer.

I'm not an expert, nor do I play one on tv, but that thing seems a little floppy and bouncy. It does seem to crawl pretty well though.

I do like thier idea on the steering "programs", though I don't know how long it would take for it to become intuitive enough to not have to stop and look to find the setting you want.

I just like that its a rtr super at an affordable price... Im hoping for a Superclass come back (I know some will say "too little too late")

good price, but i rather save it on something better.

I should be getting one hopefully by the end of this month, i'll post up my findings, btw i still love supers i currently own 4"thumbsup"

I think that's the ugliest rc I have ever seen. is that chassis and links and heck everytihng on it plastic or does it just look that way

god save our search bar.

arent these the same peeps that make the knock off savage/t-maxx ?
i know in the nitro forum i used to hang at those things were a joke.

hopefully thats not the case here.

its ok looking but the body would go and hte bumpber things as well

also looks fairly capable but then again its a super

I really hope the axles are up to the task... because I can see myself building a super with some if they are. I also hope the "Pro" version adds something more that I don't see with this one. Also hoping that with the intro of the XTM crawer and these, there is a little more effort in the super area, because after I'm done building a couple of 2.2's... I want something BIG.

The bumpers double as the servo mounts (ala the TXT) so if you remove them you'll need to fab new servo mounts.

The chassis is actually set-up with reverse-triangulated upper links, with more or less straight lower links (between chassis and axle mounting points anyway)

Those mounting points on the axle may become an issue as they're kind of out in the open, but time will tell with that as well as how the rest of the crawler holds up. The steering options on it are pretty kool though.

found my pics of it

When I messed around with the truck at the show it seemed to have promise. Cg was realy low... tires seemed like crap to me, beadlocks are simulated and the electronics it it were no name blue boxes.

19.5" wheelbase. I think they overdid it a bit.

Red cat Smarttech and I think 2 or 3 other knock off companies all get their trucks from the same chinese manufacturing facility. I am not at all fond of their nitro cars and trucks the electrics are ok at best. but who knows this truck may actually have potential and it is a super rtr and its cheap

They must have been watching the people that are winning all the time......

Looks like it does pretty good........going downhill and on flat ground.

Looks like a piece of plastic with metal links and shocks.

i'm kinda digging the cowcatcher on the front "thumbsup"

It doesnt look bad for the price, would buy one if they come out with aluminum upgrades....

i was just making a funny...
i'm glad to see other companies trying to break into the market.

adds variety "thumbsup"
