It's not solid axle :(

[Arubaboy24]

That looks sweet. Eight shocks, awsome, I like it.

[johnrobholmes]

hmm. like a beefed up mini T. will be interesting to see if it can be Jangified to be a killer, and i hope it can at least get through some grass. thats the bad part about my mini T, and the reason why my MG is more fun at home.

i only see one posiable problem it
its wheels are held on by screws, not bolts
well...that is what i see
i may be wrong or they may change it

[TheJANG]

AWE.

SOME.

:toocool:

[rc_land_sea]

man, yet another decision, looks like an awesome competitor on the track vs. mini-t but unless that price comes down, I'm going with the vmg

[MetalMan]

In Duratrax style, it inlcudes aluminum shocks (or at least shock caps), looks pretty cool, and there don't seem to be too many problems with the design. If the price goes to maybe $175, I might get one!

[nitrorulz]

Yeah, when I came across it, I immediately thought "endless possibility's here!" Theres a thousand ways you can go with it!:toocool:

So are the wheels on the Xray TC. It Does'nt matter either way what they're held on with because Whatever it is it does'nt take the twisting force unless you strip the drive hex (or pin slot in the wheel...whatever it may be) Personally a WELL DESIGNED car (AKA from what I've seen, most likely not duratrax) would have a nylon insert or o-ring locking system to hold the screw in place. They may have put something like that on it but theres no good way to really tell. I would'nt expect sucha feature from duratrax however.

oh, now this is cool, might save up a little on the side for this...

[sutherlandan]

This looks awesome! And It comes with a 6 battery/charger, 8 AA batteries for the transmitter, 4wd, and 8 oil filled shocks w/ independant suspension all for under 200 bucks? Wow! It needs virtually nothing to run! And, it will be easy to upgrade because it comes with a separate esc/reciever!

[Falldownboy]

Funny that there's nothing on the Duratrax web site....

I did find a pic w/ the body off here though:

Great find! Thanks! This thing is better than I thought! :toocool:

[T2 Basher]

You know this cant be duratrax's idea, it has to be billy easton's idea...that is the only reason i would buy one...

[PoinTHwerP]

i gotta get one of those!

nuts, i want a gecko2 chassis too though :(

[Geckoboy]

lol
i think the body sits to high but oh well
i gonna get one anyway

btw get a gecko
they fun
i got 3 already
and i working on getting a 4th

[kap06]

the body looks alot like the terra crushers. just thought i'd say that. that is a great deal at 200, for what you get. i think the price may even come down a tad later.

[mikeyp]

im deff gettin this for xmas :)

[randomletterz]

hmm... can you say 4wd buggy conversion? har har. could be fun :) is that blue shaft in the middle just a brace? or is that the 4wd shaft?
