Hope that skid will be available separate as an option part. It looks good.

Had to point out the this is not a typo typo lol should be hours per mile and what a bummer they didn’t make it a real replica with a bobbed longbed but I still think it’s pretty cool of RC4WD to pay homage to Marlin.

You are correct, I stand corrected! Thanks for pointing that out.

Lol you should see the look on people’s faces when marlin is explaining it. Even worded correctly it’s odd.

That is an awesome truck for a rtr. Does the front axle come with xvd's already installed?

I'm really considering buying one of these for my class 1 rig. How much better is the steering than the standard Yota axles?

I didn't realize this had BTA steering. With all the talk of SORRCA is BTA steering comp legal on a scale truck?

It's much better. No joke this is the best steering truck I have.

Is that a thing? Why wouldn't they allow BTA? There's junk that came from the factory that way in real life.

Yes, unfortunately SORRCA is a thing. Why wouldn't it be legal? Because they pick and choose what's scale and what's not.

They would have called it out by now, RC4WD's been doing BTA for a while. I doubt it would cause any concerns.

BTA is sweet, used to be done by some of the Toyota guys back several years ago and IIRC somebody sold a kit. Great way to get your steering out of the rocks, love the new Marlin TF2 version! HPI Venture has it too.
