I agree with atvrider to a point. The bigger the hole your tire drops into, the bigger the hole your crawler has to pull it out of. Wasted energy. Sometimes its better to just float a tire over that obstacle and not drop in. JMHO
Yes I do have a 1/1 Bronco trail truck(posi/posi). Crawlers are for trailer queens.
I do understand the competition aspect of it though...

I received and it worked for 3 minutes and had to send it back again. Later this week I will call them to check on status. Yeah, as for timelyness - it has been a few months now. It takes 3 weeks for me to get it after them mailing me a new one. Then to have it also not work, that is not good. I am glad that they take care of it, just not how long it takes.

Davy boy, It's really a bad idea to have more then about 75* 80 tops of articulation and never let it be capable of fliping the wheels over. Just a word of advise. You will get caught up in yourself and possibly damage the truck...

THEY ARE SOME SERIOUSLY NICE TRUCKS!!!! I am hoping to get into crawlin with a Super Clod Buster and leave it stock until I have enough money to get a decent chassis. Although I don't crawl, when is 90* of articulation ever going to be used. I would say Maxxacceleration's truck is just right.

Well, 90 is about average and the only time it's really used is when it's split between front and back... Meaning crawling between rocks where the rear left tire is up on a rock and the front right is up on another rock to equal the 90* or so... trucks with more then that will likely just get themselves stuck in spots they can't get out of...

Haha, In my original post above I had stated that I was selling it, and had a link to the auction, but decided to delete it because I didn't want to get in trouble.
The only thing you need to get it going is a transmitter, battery and charger. It comes with a receiver and everything else.
Thanks for your interest and complements.

I had to edit out some posts.
If something is listed on Ebay and you want to ask the seller questions. Ebay has it's own system for that. Coming in here and asking how much someone has something forsale on ebay and any promotion of the auction here is not allowed. Sorry and thanks for understanding.
