It is based off the Micro Rock Crawler (McRC), but with a different TVP, links, body, and wheels in an attempt to be a bit more scale. This was probably due to the success of the Axial SCX10 scale trail crawler.
As of this post, it is THE micro crawler to have. Performance of the stock setup is far superior to the stock McRC. It too was a complete RTR package. I love RTR's that include everything you actually need to get driving. It has a longer wheel base, which gives it better stability but at the cost of turning radius. It uses the same worm gear diffs, same transmission, and same electronics package. It doesn't handle like a dream, but of all of my micro crawlers it performs the best.
The only upgrade I did on this one was change the Tx to the Spektrum DX3C. Since there haven't been any aftermarket upgrades for the ESC and motor, I decided to just run the stock stuff. Unfortunately I haven't even upgraded the steering servo, though I should try to pickup another Hitec MS-65MG for it.
The only downside that I used to have with this truck is that the body didn't come in a clear option. That would have been real nice. I am able to get the Losi Micro 1/24 SCT bodies to work though, so that is an option.
The main down side now to this truck is that it has been discontinued, like the McRC, in favor of an inferior micro crawler. I would love to get a 2nd one, and upgrade it like crazy.
Happy crawling!!
