Status: offline 		"Looks" like it might be a nice entry level ride. If parts support is sufficient, it might be a good way to introduce somebody into the hobby. Definitely a Savage clone on a smaller scale though. I guess we shall see if it's decent when some reviews pop up.

Status: offline 		Good trucks don't have to cost 400 + My cen Mt2 was 249.00 and i love that truck for durability, and fun. Its also very fast. Look at the TNX, its priced real nice, and is a real screamer and a handler, I'll take it over my 400+ revo any day.

Like others have said lets just wait and see

I´ve seen a vid and it is f***ing fast and a wheely-machine as it´s best.
It hasn´t much features, but where isn´t much, there cannot break much.
It seems very durable so.
The only prob here in Germany is, that they want 400€(~510$) for it...
