i saw the atricle in rc car action on this truck, and i was thinking of hooking one up like that for my little cousin. they put bal end 4 link suspension on, and a better battery. anyone driven it yet? also is the 280 size motor the one in the micro rs4?

Which issue? What page?

i dont remember, but it was a newer one. june or july maybe. its like a high quality toy, i just wanted to know if anyone had one.

It was an article in August 2003 of RC Car Action.

I read the article and it looks like a good little truck, QD means quick drive. Kind of between the toys & the hobby cars. Has some hobby features & some toy features. Personally, I would buy a RTR traxxas stampede or something of that nature. You would get a much better unit for a few more intial dollars & something that your kid can grow into. I think that I am going to get my 3 year old son an electric rustler. I will just set back the ESC so it runs slower. They are like $149 with a radio & everything.

Good luck.
