The
minute I open up the box, I was wow. This truck is huge,
far bigger than anything I have seen. The paint job is very
nicely done and it come with tons of spare parts, so that's
a big plus. From the price point, this is a great deal,
you get everything from radio, 1/4 scale servo, starter
and even a fule bottle. What more can you ask.
This
truck is really RTR (Ready To Run), all you need are batteries
and fuel. Overall quality of this truck is very durable,
having done over 20 crazy jumps, the truck havn't even broken
anything. The best part of this truck is the trannsmission,
Tamiya called FRAT, which stands for Foward Reverse Automatic
Transmission. I am so glad they didn't call it Foward Automatic
Reverse Transmission. The tranny works great, there is no
need of a 3 channel, it just go reverse the minute to push
the backwards trigger on the radio. The tranny is a 2 speed
tranny, it shift on it's own. Some people reported of having
problem with shifting from first gear to the second gear,
it has been working very well with my truck.
So since
nothing really breaks, is there a need of aftermarket parts?
Yes, you should get a bigger engine head, to kept it cool.
If you have some extra cash, also get a 2 needle carb for
the engine, so you can fine tune the lower end and high
end.
Over
all the truck is great, the only downside is the engine
at .18 it is really not the most powerful in it's class.
Most new trucks are going towards the .21 trend.
