I think I have seen some guys on RC Crawler with those. I guess they were overseas. I know that I have seen a build on one somewhere on the site. I bet the bodies are going to be sought after.

I got to see two of them in action on May 3rd. Both were basically stock 'cept for of them had weighted flat-irons on Pro-Line Wheels. It lacks the aftermarket support (being so new) of the Axial, but I honestly think that it may be a better out-of-the-box crawler than the AX-10.

Will you take the pepsi challenge? That's a bold statement. They surely look like they'll work good though. Some buddies of mine saw them in Fuquay yesterday and were impressed by them, but he still purchased an ax10 from us.

Nice Truck but it aint no AX10. 2 different kinds of fun if you ask me. but i thought of getting one just to see what it was like to have a scale type crawler. Haven't been a scale hobbiest before but it could be a start. Nice truck. But for now I'll stay with my axial it works to good.

Does look like a nice crawler. I just bought a AX-10 RTR. If someone gets one, we can do a comparison. I'm just ready to compare my RTR verses a one with all the mods. I thought R/C Car Action's review of the AX-10 RTR was spot on, execpt they should have said the body needs to be trimmed before you even try crawling. It kills your articulation. I did just put on my bent links on yesterday and wow! My articulation has came to life, I have trimmed my body 3 more times. Its sick how much it freed up my suspension up. I wish I could post up a pic. of it.... (I don't have a card reader or data cable for the camera yet!) The only thing else about the RTR that needs to be upgraded ASAP is the front steering link. It is plastic and flexes very bad! So bad that the servo saver is stronger than the plastic link! The link flexes before the servo saver even works! With all that being said, my AX-10 RTR still has gotten to the top of every pile of rocks I have tried to climb!
