Huuuuge New Truck Out !!!!!!!

[olds97_lss]

I have to tell you guys, those movies do nothing for me. Someone needs to show some movies of one that is fully broken in and have some good footage of beating the crap out of the thing.

If what we are looking at is a fully broken in engine, I'm not impressed. Especially, since the thing just kind of lumbers around.

I dunno olds, it seemed to get some pretty good air with a short run to the ramp... I agree, the vids aren't the greatest at showing what it's capable of.. it's suspension needed some tuning... seems to have a rather decent amount of torque for it's weight... and it is pretty heavy. honestly, I'm kinda surprised at $500, actually seems kida cheap. I don't think it'll be any better of a performer than some of the other popular trucks but it's another fish to look at through the glass. But just with any investment I'd do the research and wait for a lot more info before I dove into my wallet

It just seemed "doggy" to me is all. You'd figure, with that much HP on tap, it would be pretty snappy. Especially with a 3-speed trans. 1st gear should be pretty low for the weight of the truck. I'm sure it will all be tunable, but like I said, the movies just didn't make it seem all that impressive. It's a cool truck, don't get me wrong, it just seems weak is all. The design is pretty good. Looks like a savage on roids.

Allthough, the shock mounted on top to help control body roll looks like the first thing to get ripped off on a bad roof landing. I'd probably take that off just to avoid breaking other stuff.

I agree olds.. that 5th shock looks pretty worthless to me. I don't know if it's supposed to put a limit on roll but I was playin with it at the hobby shop and it didn't do poop. Good ole roll bar and firm springs are the only thing that'r gonna limit roll. The truck looks really well engineered in person but I'd like to see a vid the portrays a better picture.

Did someone say 20 pounds?? Man, that's a lot of truck.

well its a new truck and no ones going to have parts avalible at least hobby shops, i bought a terra crusher when it frist came out and boy did i ever regret it, the thing broke during break-in no PARTs no where, had to order from tamiya 2-4 weeks ill never do it again then the truck turned out to be a plug!!!so if you plan on some weekend bashing i'd stay away unless your buying to just test it out!! nice truck though
