Customer Reviews
I own two of these. They are fun to build, and even better to play with.
The transmission is a 3 speed. First gear is very slow. Second is a faster. Third gear is my favorite and most fun because it is quite quick, yet still has enough torque to climb anything.
You can also lock the axles for full time 4 wheel drive, which I did.
This is a very reliable truck and it is very hard to break. I have only broken it once, only because someone crashed a very fast car into it.
Make sure you use liquid thread lock, which is supplied in the kit, on all the metal pieces that can come loose and fall out.
The leaf springs will get bent out of shape a lot.
Overall, this is a great truck. It will climb almost anything. You can take it sand, mud, snow, water (you have to waterproof the electronics though) and almost never get stuck. The ground clearance isn't so great, so it will get stuck on sticks or very tall grass.
You can beat this truck into the ground and it will keep on running strong. It will provide many years of entertainment.
For the inexperienced, beware. You need to buy paint, and paint the body. You also need to buy one servo for shifting, one servo for steering, you'll need at least a three channel radio controller, a battery charger and battery etc.
It can be become quite expensive, but in my opinion, it is worth it. If you buy your kids those cheap RC cars from Toys R US, save your time and money, and buy something professional quality like this.
I wish someone bought me a quality RC car like this when I was a kid. I went through so many toy quality cars that always broke, and couldn't drive well.
Originally, I was thinking about another (smaller, simpler...) RC kit by Tamiya. Then I bought this incredible F-350, being the "top" of Tamiya's current range (after longing for the "Bruiser" some 20 years ago..;) This F-350 is a dream come true - fun building it, yet more fun driving it. Definitely go for the LED lights, it makes the kit absolutely irresistable;)) Enjoy!
