Default New rig from Cross RC

This looks interesting:

2 spd, portals, locking diffs. Bronco from the side, Blazer from the front. LOL
RTR and Kit versions.

Yeah, that body looks very strange. I couldn’t deal with that too long.

Seems like everyone is copying the portal/2speed/switchable diffs/inner fender idea from each other. I may be wrong, but didn’t Traxxas come out first with the portals and inner fenders? Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like all these brands are copying Traxxas. Can’t we get some variety? I know i know, that’s all people want now, but we need variety! I’m still waiting for a TRX4 with solid axles.

No, traxxas didn't come out with that first. I'm sure if they did though, they'd be sueing eveyone else who came out with that stuff...

I ran a GMADE R1 portal machine. Before portals were needed. I did grab a SCX10III because of them not the remote operated axles. My trucks all crawl/creep/absorb the terrain, so I like lockers, and overdrive!


Hang up and Drive

R.C. means both;Remote control, and Rock Crawler.

MST with CFX-W came before traxxas for portal axles on a scale crawler.

Oh wow, MST? I would’ve never guessed.

Agreed. That said, it should be fairly easy to swap in a more Bronco'esque grill.
