It looks like a Smartech BigFoot with another body.
The wheels are a dead giveaway.... When will they start making some SOLID clone wheels.... (SOLID, as in NOT tearing the wheel centers out )

i wouldnt buy it...

first off, its some unknown make, possibly smartech
2nd - you dont know what engine it has.. it could be a crappy utility engine
3rd - you'd be sending your money to china, and thats a risk in itself.

Hi there J_D

I have gone ahead and sent my money to good ol' China...
1 the truck is a Smartech Big-foot...(only a little longer)
2 the engine is a 26cc DZY
3 My money is fully protected and traceable...
COST?
AUD$640- USD$505-
4 week wait though.....
It still could be a bad buy but i thought I'd give it a shot...will post results once i have truck....

i hope its better than we re giving it credit for, really i do, but i get a nagging feeling your gonna have parts issues, and a rough time. just remember to hold ALL 1/5th by that mark. i would say thats the near bottom rung when it comes to large scale.

let us know how it works out, maybe they are a hidden gem?

It should be interesting, to say the least! Smartech parts just bolt in and the engine seems to be ok from what my research says.....
but for that price, one would raise the question of quality, no doubt...
It could be a rough diamond....will post when arrives...

ouch only up to 10k rpm...... and only 2hp....

even a 23cc CY engine would probably beat that.


a 26cc zenoah, will rev all the way up to almost 20 000. and will have at least 3 hp thru that range stock.

2.35hp probably isn't bad considering how high it revs, sounds like it might have similar torque at least, plus it says it has a top speed of 80km/h! Which sounds slightly hard to beleive, though I suppose you could work it out if you know the max revs, gear ratio and circumference of the tyres which shouldn't be too hard to find out... Sounds interesting...

theres no chance it will do 80km/hr out of the box, espeically from an engine that has 2 hp and only revs to 10,000,

to gear it for that speed with only 10k revs it would have to be very tall gears, but it only has 2 hp, so it would be bogging huge off the line.
