11:39PM, Shaun finally gets done looking and charging batts.

He drives it and thinks its the shit, He is now going to post pics.

This truck is awsome, I'm already wanting another one.
it has decent speed and quet a bit of torque, how ever it wontclimb straight up a wall. its a blast to drive and its stock right now

.

My future plans for this truck is proline dirt hawg tires, RPM revolver rims, gear reduction(already has one it just needs to be lower), locked diffs., and a different antana tube.

Review coming soon.

Ummm, I'm confused. If you want any specific pics of anything, I can take them. It took me a few minutes but I talked the mum into letting me get another one. They just don't understand why you would want 2.

All right, I'll hit you with a comment, I didn't have time earlier, but I ment to post up.

Is this thing 4wd ? or not...

Would you consider it "Hobby Grade" ?

How's the gearing, as low as a MZM or lower/higher... any diff locker ?

Speed... are we looking at something that has both basher and crawler potential ?

Last of all, price and weight, how much does this puppy weigh, and how much did it cost ya' ?

I'm sort of interested in getting one, but I wouldn't mind seeing a video too if poss.

4wd shaft driven, es I woul call it hobby grade, because you can change out the tx/rx. the gearing is decent not really good enough to crawl but enough to be quick and decent off-road. The speed is pretty good. Price, you can get them for $15.00 from wal-mart.

I'm going to try and get some vid soon, and I want to drop in a mini-T speed motor, but think how bad ass a bushless 1/20th scale crawler would be

Here are some links.

For $15 bucks they are a steal.Well worth $15 and not really hobby grade but very good for what they are.

I got three of them (jeep,bronco,colorado) and wish I had gotten more since they were on clearence and now I cant find them anymore.

SHAUN · Post by **SHAUN** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 8:38 pm

Ya, I can't find them, soon I'm going to build a custom chassis, I'm still in the cad proces though and then I don't know if I will make it out of aluminum or a cutting bored. If I went the cutting bored route I would have to deal wih the jack asses at my local metal dealer.

Also I'm going to use a 4 cell receiver batt. pack, and it should fit inside the chassis.

more to come.

Sounds great, but whats a "bored"? I'm not familiar.

I have one of these. Its definately not hobby grade and the crystals aren't removable. Great toy truck for the price.

Hey sg, if your talking about the propo elecs, just run it more and they get more responsive, some guys on RCC have said that and now I have noticed it.

Also, I ment board,lol.

Just looking at that I can tell you its not hobby grade. Hobby grade usually infers that it would have bushings upgradable with bearings. Separate electronics that are usually held on with servo tape, and easily replacable. High tech materials are usually used such a plastic composites, and Lexan bodies. Just having a propo control doesn't make it hobby grade.

But a propo RC for $15 is a deal, you got my interest.

Looks almost like the Superslicks MT.
