Review



Looks like a great truck except for all that stuff on the left side of the chassis:whistle:


The Brake bias adjustmant is very unique

Cool review. I'm very interested in this truck...but very concerned about the price tag.

only 600 for the kit:lol:

thats only an arm, a leg, and you soul

Tower lists it as ~$680! I wish kits were still $400 or less.

Looks like it comes with big bore shocks though.

havent they become the standard now?

On the new kits, yep. They don't HAVE to put them on there, but it's nice that they do. What I don't like about this kit is the need to supply your own tires and wheels out of the box. Looks like a good kit but seems brittle and not as tough. I need something with some strength, especially with the way I drive.

I read somewhere that they also have a buggy on the way

rchippie 11.09.2008 12:03 AM

My friend has two of these. One is for spare parts. He said he really likes the way it handels . He put this truggy in the A main at the last state series race in the FL state series . I must say it look very good in person .

BL_RV0 11.09.2008 03:11 PM

That's good to hear.

magman 11.09.2008 04:01 PM

Anyone alert linc...he is a big tamiya fan!

rchippie 11.09.2008 04:59 PM

They signed RYAN LUTZ to be a team driver . He is a world class driver . This tells me they are serious abut making a quality kit .

This is a big deal! Man, as the article says, if he has even more time to practice and prep his cars...look out!

Mike_D 11.09.2008 09:32 PM

Wow! That is interesting news. I met Ryan this summer at a race and i must say he is a really cool guy and he is insanly fast on the track. I hope he does well with the truggy it looks awesome!
