Okay, well here's my first impressions. For one, it's huge! But we all already knew that. The shocks are amazing! I've seen all the internet pics, videos, magazine spreads, and even a T.V. spot on Inside R/C, but none of them do it justice! This thing is absolutely beautiful! It's more a piece of art than a truck! We all already know the good things this truck has to offer, so I'll go on with some of the things that have suprised me. The shaft starter thingy is big. Real big. It's twice the size of the Tmaxx ez start. The body posts are held in place with body clips, an absolutely brilliant design for making body height easily adjustable. I've said in other posts that I was worried about the length of the drive shafts. It's true, the shafts are a little short. They BARELY slide into the cups. This may be a potential problem for breaking drive cups. You have to remove the fuel tank to get to the batteries. Yup, I know it, it's a weird design but it's true. The 4 cell AA battery holder is under the tank. There is ALSO a different place for a 5 cell flat pack that we've all seen in the pics. It comes with a high quality inline fuel filter (I didn't know that). The tires don't have any foam! What? They are very soft compound, foam may be a necessity. Well we all know the rest, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!
