Default Tamiya TNX 5.2R

Hey guys,
is the TNX 5.2R a good truck for just having a good bashing around and which has a nice good speed?

Pro's?

Con's?

thanks,
George

I have the older TNX and like it. I like the upgrades to the new 5.2. It looks like the truck rips with the .32 engine in it. The only con I can think of is I usually have to order parts online because most LHS don't carry parts for them.

The 5.2 is not an OS motor. It's an Ofna Force .32 or at least a variation of it. The original TNX 3.0 used a .18 based off the OS .18 CVRX.
