This looks pretty cool, not sure if you've all seen it yet. 2wd for $689 and 4wd for $888.

Is it just me, or does the servo say "mental gear" on it?

It's because that servo is like totally mental, dude!

If it holds up to abuse well that would be a blast to bring in to play with the Slashes.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

Personally I would shy away from a vehicle like this one, because there are undoubtadly no after market hop up parts for it. If it has any weak spots(which I am sure that it does) there is nowhere to go from the original design, unless you make your own replacement parts. 30cc, not bad though. Any videos of it in action??


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.

Your right, I doubt this truck has any after market support. But This truck uses the same chassis that every one uses........I mean like seriously there's what? 6+ companies that sell this same truck(omitting body/tire options) It's pathetic, that reputable companies are just re-badging this as there own(that alone does't bother me but it's that Every one is doing it)

Any way, that was a total rabbit trail. As I was saying, with so many companies making this truck I'm sure you can find after market parts some were.

And BTW For the record, this companies version of this china shit looks very nice. Now only if Hpi would sell there trucks that cheap.........
