I seen 'em all over RCU, people talking about them and all.

However, I have no clue if they are on market yet. They look cute, I definitely want one.
The first thing I will do with mine is get rid of that stupid side exhaust engine. I will get like a large displacement small block, say an OS .21TM. And if that will not cut it for me, I will chop some engine mounts and convert this thing to big block!!!!

Here is a vid I found on u-toob

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. I'd like to have a nitro solid axle MT.

Yeah, me too, . And in the vid, it looks like it can take some light to mid-bashing pretty well.

When I first saw this thing I thought it was kind of silly, and figured it would only be good for niche market. However, after seeing some video of it I've changed my mind. It looks like a lot of fun!!!

Yes, it is. But it is a niche truck, not a true crawler (now a dedicated one to begin with), nor a true basher, though it does look like it can bash decently. I guess it is just a fun truck to have around. Kind of like a Tamiya Lunchbox.
