Its a super slick MT u can only get them at toysRus at first they suck but once the center diff is locked they can crawl cog is too high so they tend to flip easy but with some modification to lower the cog it should rock for its size it does alot better than the zipzap mt as is |

Found this http://www4.toysrus.com/superslicks/...ter&color=blue (notice it says 4 wheel independent suspension when it clearly has solid axles f/r) Looks like I'll have to stop by Toysrus here shortly!  |

its the center diff making the noise, you have to pull out the gear box and lock the center diff. I used super glue Ive heard of ppl using aluminum foil though

well after running mine for about 10 min. it broke. when ever i try to back up only the rear wheels turn. but it's 4 wheel drive when i go forward. the center diff is locked so i think it may be the front drive shaft? :?

Ok so I did not look that close at it to see the antanna. I just got mine today it is really fun to drive on my desk at work and over my books. So tell me how did you mount up the wally crawler body and the rims and tires. or did you just mount up the tires and not the rims. Pics I can't wait to see what all of you do to this little crawler to make it a better crawler. LoL . Rocksurfer |

I just Glued the tires on ,And I used some rims from a Model to make it look right.The body I used Velcro and a Custom body mount .The body is a little heavy Plastic would be better But...I wanted a Jeep body.I make the drive shafts out of Aluminum Tube,Just use tube thats tight and cut to lenght and Glue,Its held up great.

Hey i just got mine today as well, but i am really ready to lock the center diff. But when i got it apart i couldn't get the gearcase out through the top and i didn't want to break it lol. Is there any special trick to this or was i just not pulling hard enough. Some pics of the lengthened one would be sweet too. thanks, Zack |
