    I have 1 and really like it. That small 180 motor works decent enough for the truck. Wish it had a 320 size but it still works well. I did find that scx24 hexs are a direct fit on this truck which is great if you want different wheels.

    I'd say the underpowered motor is pretty scale too. These 1.5 na 100 something hp cars do suffer from that off road in real life... so I'd say yes probably could do with more power for an rc, but I'm still impressed with what I've seen so far.

    Mother of God O_O This is the GOLD STANDARD now for realism in trail trucks, my favorite subset up the hobby.. I wish I could get more trucks with this level of detail. Are there any mods available yet for it? It'd be nice to lift it SLIGHTLY (equivalent to a 1" or so full scale lift) or add a roof rack for some scale jerry cans and a recover gear...
    I *love* how low it's geared... No touchy throttle and nice slow application of power makes for ideal crawling along trail obstacles.

    @3Y3ECE Год назад

    What I dont understand about the turn signals is that they are a manually articulated indicator in an actual vehicle. So why can they use the 3 way toggle switch to articulate that? Obviously left will turn on your left idicator, then switch to middle and they are both off, and then switch to right and right indicator turns on. That way, everybody is happy, if you want them, great, if ya dont, ignore channel 3. You would merely need blinking led's, 2 radio switches, and the channel 3 of the receiver... I plan on doing this to my scale rigs, but led's are a last step. I work on the vehicles from ground up. Wheels and tires, axles, suspension, chassis, electronics and fitment, body work, prime, paint, finish, but, to each their own.
