Is an OL really worth it?

Post by viperdout »

I'm considering one right now, and the thing that's held me back for a long time is the fact that it has 2WD which really bothers me. My question is, does it handle and act the way a proper offroader would, and will it get stuck a lot?

No, actually someone from TE said the IW03 will be a new breed of race machine, an evolution of the 02. The not talked about IW05 will be an evolution of the 04 with indupendent front suspension.
There's no replacement for displacment.

Well since Overlands are $85 at Tower Hobbies, and I got a $10 off coupon, I was thinking about getting an Overland. That's about what my 04 came to shipped... but... this independent suspension thing has got my interest. I might have to hold out for that.
