I don't see driveshafts.

does it work off direct gear drive? IE:two motors? Kinda like an onroad 2wd car just per axle? lol.Why are the chinese always looking to make a buck off of something thats big in the US? I see another knock off just like everything else R/c made by them.I guess I should'nt talk as an american,we copy almost everything from japan.

Thats what it looks like to me. Looks like a Clod got freaky with a T-maxx imo.

Check out all that flex. That'll make a it a comp winner for sure :lol:.

It is good to see more companies bringing out crawler though. Hopefully the axles will be decent enough for comp use.

The steering mode option is bad ass

there is this thing too 1/8 also ....asked the sales dept about a wheel hex size and they were like "What is that?"

The tires don't come off on both I think ...on the green one they dont and looks like they are from the same factory "thumbsup"

There are at least a dozen soon-to-be-produced crawler kits coming from overseas. Some have Clod style axles, while others have an Axial feel to them.

While some are definately better than others, like them or not at least there will be more parts available to custom make crawlers out of.

Pfft :roll: - Did I say anything about competitions? Plus I don't see that thing being competitive out of the box anyway. Shaft driven rigs are still just as capable, just depends on the driver. "thumbsup"

didnt mean it that way

I would agree, but only in the 2.2 class.

Shafties haven't had much luck in the super class (the 1/8 scale size this truck is marketed as).

 

[2JSC]

True.
