It's just a tough looking truck. I'd love to get one some day too. The initial price can be a bit of a shock, but if I were smart and saved instead of keep spending $$ on other smaller RC things, the saving up would happen quicker.
Then again, there's too many things I want (other RC kits, etc). I need an MT though, and this fits the bill.
Anyone look at the Kyosho DMT (for electric fans), or the MFR?

They seem to be more "race truck" looking, but still a big MT. Then again, the solid axles of the Kruiser are just too cool.
