I'll have to say. Seeing some of the recent pics without the cab, It doesn't look half-bad as a starter platform. And for that money? Kind of a no-brainer.

But, then again, I got chests full of esc's, servo's, even compact sound-systems, etc. so converting it to proper rc wouldn't be too much of a financial burden, so to speak.

I really like the fact that the designers of the toy used metal in the frame, and proper axles. No fiddling with a plastic, boxey affair with all kinds of molded-in stands that are -more often than not- part of the chassis-strengthening.
A Tamiya tamtech esc, a micro servo- and saver, a tiny bit of drilling above the shaft for the servo stands, and Bob's Your uncle, as the Ami's tend to say. By the looks of it, it wouldn't be too much trouble to ad a proper panhard steering system too.

I'll wait till the truck is more widely available, though. Maybe even wait for the 3 axle one. I hate to have my leg pulled for shipping, just to have it "early".

But, yeah, all in all. It's promising. And owning some fancy crawlers myself 1xscx10, 3xWraith, 1xTwin Hammers... well, You get the idea..) , anything under $100.- as a chassis+ scale cab+running hardware, is a steal in my book, éven at a smaller scale.

I agree wholeheartedly with you JM,
It is not the product but the Potential and as you have plenty of bits and pieces that could alter and uprate the Chassis so do I and many others on this Forum.
The 6 wheeler will just be gravy to my way of thinking.

By the by, for those on the EU or UK, HobbyKing has the Orlandoo micro crawler sound module ( = DasMikro) readily available for about €20.- or £18.- No 30 day wait for Banggood. Usually -if in stock- I get HobbyKing parts within 3 days after ordering. It even comes with soldering points for LEDs.

It sounds pretty great. I ordered one for my Sabertooth-equipped Kyosho Blizzard FR.

Hi Here is a thought for you if the 6x6 has a gearcase that puts the drive straight through ,this should be transferable to a front axel so giving the chance of an 8x8 or even 10x10 .

Rumor has it that the 6x6 is going to be much, much more sophisticated, and also much, much more expensive.

I've heard about two that have been delivered in North America, but unfortunately mine wasn't one of them. Still waiting, impatiently!

I got mine from eBay and dgsselkirk got his from Banggood. Wonder who else got one North America.

Mine is now enroute to CT for c.rainford73.........
