This scale model kit is great for all levels of rc hobbyists. Not as serious as the Bruiser or Mountain Rider (Mountaineer). There are several parts that are not included which are required to operate it. I highly recommend a 4+ channel radio system and high torque servos for both steering and shifting. I also recommend a sealed ball bearing kit to replace the metal bushings, it runs MUCH smoother and requires a lot less maintenance. The steering linkage has four connection points to both front and rear, which causes a fair amount of play in steering direction. Although, it is 4-wheel steering capable, which is cool! The kit comes with plenty of extra fasteners in case one goes running away across the floor or just flies away (like one e-clip did during my build) never to be seen again. All the parts are durable so long as you don't purposely bash it around after building it. It's not a Clod Buster! You gotta drive it like you would a REAL truck or damage WILL occur. Overall, I have really enjoyed building it and customizing it with light kits and a slick paint job. It's stock motor has plenty of power for puttzing around in all 3 gear settings. Goes for quite a while on 5000mAh 2s 60c LiPo batteries. The squirrels in my yard especially like it since it started delivering peanuts!Read full review
