It's a Wk with a flipped chassis and Jeep body, nothing new there. I do like the wheels and tires!

WoodiE · Feb 10, 2009

I don't like that body they used in the video - to big and boxy, makes it look out of place.

i agree woodie, the video imo isnt doing it any justice especially if they want to promote it as a crawler, the best way to do that is to have it going slow and crawling, not rock racing/bashing imo.

Nice scaler, if they were going for a RTR or ARTR comp ring they missed big time. Did you see the torque twist that thing has ??

slowngreen · Feb 10, 2009

looks like it will make a nice scale rig.......maybe

BOUTCH · Feb 10, 2009

I like the rig but dont like the body either.

Not impressed at all. I figured HPI would have done something better. That thing had massive torque twist!

it looks okay to me,maybe it isn't a real crawler like Axial but sure it is good toy and first crawler for small money.

but that's what I call a real rock crawler
