Very impressive Truggy. Looks rock solid. Let's see if these pics load.

Only real issue is which 6.0V ni-mh pack will fit in the receiver/battery box with my JR receiver. 4 cell pack is a tight fit.

Body came completely pre-cut with all holes including antenna and window cut out. Steering servo seems like it has some good torque and that's only on the four duracell batts. Should be well improved with a 6.0v. Antenna tube is a bit skinny for the hole. A small drop of CA should keep it from coming out.

Nice pipe with TeamVTX (Nice touch). Love the throttle/brake controls with easy adjustment. Pre-installed throttle return spring. On/off switched is covered to prevent shorting. Need to mark which way is on.

Took a picture of the rear chassis brace. Includes one for the front as well as sway bars. Nice.

. I like the torque starter. I have always been a starter box guy but this is a nice option. Fortunately, I have (2) new 2400 packs with tamiya plugs so I am set. Charge them both and they should last all day.

Orginally, I bought this for my son as I was waiting for the Losi Truggy to come out, however I may just buy another one.. Very impressive. Hopefully, this will carry over to the track. Will post more during break in and first runs.

Some great set up tips on www.teamvtx.com. Same setup as their Nationals truck for diffs and shock oil and ride height.

Yes, it does look nice. Personally, if you think it looks good in those pictures, it looks even better in person.

For you guys that worry about those flimsy looking shock towers, buy one of each, cut the shock mounting positions on the currently mounted one off, and screw this second one on over it. Use a screw and a nut to secure the bottom of the new shock tower to the mounted one. This way, you'll have a 4mm shock tower, with a higher shock mounting, so you can set the ride height lower.

Quote from Greg him self:
"I used two rear shock towers to make one, I cut the shock holes off one tower and bolted them on another tower at about 45 degrees in order to get a higher shock hole position for the rear."

A standard 5 cell hump pack will fit in the box.

How do you like your truck so far?

they aren't flimsy, the only reason he did that was to get that higher position.

oh and btw, mine is on the way.

2mm shock towers not flimsy?. ya right. let's see you run it with the stock towers and see how long they last.
