On RCZone they say the Kyosho uses a worm gear drive. If that's true, it will have unbelievable torque and holding power (since the main gear can't spin the worm gear, no coasting either). Should be an interesting gearbox

Few years ago I remember people giving Crawlers crap as they were slow and boring, they really seem to be taking off now

Meet the Rock Force 2.2. Now anyone can discover what rock crawling is all about.
Starting with a worm-gear axle, the Rock Force 2.2 is packed with features such as special crawler motor and speed control amp. Incredible performance and design with options for disconnecting the rear drive (requires 3-channel R/C system), brings the fascination of rock crawling to everyone. Switch between drive, free and lock for user-friendly operation of various driving techniques. Recommended as the best introduction to rock crawling, and for those who want to use this as the base machine to modify as far as desired.

The Kyosho 2.2 looks pretty nice! Aren't the bottom few pics the Kyosho super class crawler though?
Edit: Whoops i just realized that those were the prototype pics from last years Tokyo show. |

Looking at those prices, these trucks are significantly cheaper here in Japan. I like both of them but I almost bought the Tamiya Land cruiser last weekend.

They sell between $270-$300 here which is significantly lower than Tower's $354 price. I think I will buy a set or 2. I should have never sold my emaxx ESC
