I love it... I just really wish it wasn't licensed. First thing I'm doing is repainting that chassis and throwing a different body on it.

Could probably dye it. When you do I got dibs on the body.

Oops, Grave Digger solid axle MT, sweet!

Comes with rear swaybar too, which it will need!

Just pre ordered. I've never pre ordered on Tower before and I usually wait for reviews before buying, but I've been waiting for this for years.

Question.

Coupon code promotion (510NF - SAVE $4 will be applied when shippable item(s) reach the required dollar amount of $399.00.
Standard Shipping charge will be added to your order when the first back-ordered item is shipped. This is a one-time charge and will not appear on subsequent items shipped out as back orders for this order.

As of right now, I don't see that discount applied anywhere. Does it get applied when it ships?


Also, I'm really hoping we see an XL version of this.

Open diffs = fun. Can't wait to get it on some sweet jumps.

The ESC and motor are a poor choice. They will need an upgrade. This thing should be brushless. I'll wait for the kit.

27T on 3S is plenty of oomph for an RTR. Something's got to give in the RTR market to keep pricing reasonable. At Axialfest this year they had a stock Bomber class and IMO, that was the most fun to watch. Imagine a stock class for these things? So much fun.

Yes, but if you want a little more a Traxxas Titan 550 can 21 turn is a great motor on 3S.

Love the open diffs too!

Yes....... Tower is good for that. I also joined their club, coupons are almost double and always free shipping

I see they strengthened the c-hubs, looks like better plastic with more fibers in it too.

IIRC Axial has a V8 engine coming out soon....would make a great scale addition to this if the scale is same!

I think most of us would have paid the extra $50 (like the Yeti SCORE) for the addition of a brushless system.

I think my parts bin is stocked enough to build one with just a chassis and some small bits. This thing looks like a blast to drive.

Most experienced hobbyists will pay it, and appreciate it. This is aimed at a broader customer base. A slower and more cost effective power system was the obvious choice to bring new people into the hobby
