that thing looks huge. wonder how much it is going to cost. it's like an inlarged T-maxx. just more competion for traxxas.

That thing is sick, the only thing i dont like about it, is that it has the exhaust(sp?) coming out of the bottom (look at the pic) That would easily be scratched or damaged if you were a hardcore rock climber :eek:

That is so cool, the movie just makes that thing look so good.

in my humble opinion, i am not impressed. other companies have come out with some groundbreaking ideas. as of yet, i have not seen this truck display one. please AE, prove me wrong... -Tim

They are rubber exhaust deflectors, not aluminum or plastic. I think it is pretty cool to have the exhaust come out under the truck.

I have those tires! they copied the duratrax nitro quake!

The exhaust has been changed since that picture was taken. They now have a metal pipe with a single outlet for much better performance. The tires are from the Nitro Quake mold, but at least they are using the old soft compound, not the hard plastic material used on later 'Quakes.

I have seen this truck in a hobby shop in Sweden. It looks really nice ! But the suspension looked strange it had some kind of extra cylinder outside the one containing the oil. I have never seen that before. What is that ?

edit: and they are our of plastic.

[TheJANG]

Those are supposed to be oil reservoirs (they keep air out of the shock bodies). However, on this truck, they're fake!

Ok, just some extra weight then ;)
