I have one, but i can't tell you how it runs. I'm not done building it yet. If you want to jump though, A stadium truck may be better suited to that versus a purpose built crawler.

 The truck is called a Max Climber, not a Max Jumper...I think you'll have problems if you try to get "big air." Especially if you lock any of the diffs. Is it worth it? A lot of us think so, but we're not trying to jump it, and most of our trucks don't stay stock for very long. If you want to build a small scale crawler, then the TLT is a great truck to use as a basis for your project. | |

Actually, if you want to put some effort into it, I imagine the truck could be pretty cool as a fast truck. You'll have to get your CG down LOW, so maybe an inverted center tranny with battery down below? then tune the ride with a lower stance, extend it a bit and run smaller 2.2's, like the Losi Smashers, lock the rear, keep the front open and I think it could be a fun little truck. Something more geared towards the Tough Truck competition. My TLT was pretty fun in stock form, with the exception of the tall CG, so you could have fun with it, its just going to take alot more work and thought on your part than say a T3, XXX-T or Rustler.
