Sorry mate, I've never even heard of this brand. Not in the US, AFAIK. Maybe Foxy has heard of them......

I'm not familiar with this truck in particular but anything from RC4WD is usually quality stuff and super scale looking.

Thank you, I would just worry that I wouldn't find it very exciting and would also be soooo annoyed if it got dented or damaged... I have a feeling it might end up an expensive shelf queen

Those thing are awesome. They crawl just as good as a SCX10 but with twice the scale detail and a stronger driveline... Owners will say it craws better than a SCX10 but I think that's just pride kicking in because its a Twice the price...

But its worth it... It's said to be a great chassis to build and the end results really pay off..... I mean look at the detail...

if that's what u are worried about defiantly check out the SCX10....it takes a beating.....IMO for the price of the RTR honcho kit and what u get, it's the best value crawler on the market.... Even compared to the SCX10 jeeps its great. U don't have to pay any extra for a licences jeep body.... And comparing it to the SCX10 Dingo kit, the honcho is by far the better deal. Because the honcho is only $100 more but comes with a AE2 ESC, 27t motor, steering servo, 2.4ghz radio and light kit.... No way u could get all that for $100 the castle made AE2 ESC is more on its own!... Crazy

Thanks guys I will check out of the suggestions you have made.. I was really looking for a nice truck to go with a trainer to look good carrying my drift car around.. But the idea of bashing about and abusing a truck sounds fun too
