ohh god yeah...that thing will climb most anything...i havent pulled anything as of yet but i'ma have a pull off with my friends and see whos wins ...and yeah it is slow if you compare it to even my duratrax maximum st...but for its size and weight...it goes just fine...even better when i drop a .21 or bigger and 2 speed tranny in it...and as far as the 4 wheel steering goes...i'm not buying the kit cause i'm in the process of making my own...if you have a mechanical mind you can look at your mega and see how they are gonna do it...
