Review



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


The Brake bias adjustmant is very unique

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

I agree. We know it wont be long before that "stuff" is replaced with brushless "stuff".

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

Looks like it comes with big bore shocks though.

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.


:D

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!
