Customer reviews
Super fun, needs work
I'm really into this truck after swapping out the tires and front arms. If you plan on using bigger tires or boosting power, you'll prob need shims for the rear diff. Just a heads up, it's not a toy, so expect to do some work. It'll break and crash sometimes.
Get this truck!
This truck is like unbreakable! I've had it for over 6 months and really gave it a beating. Nothing's broken yet. Added lipo batteries and a brushless system—it's a blast!! I drive it way more than my old 1/10. Wish I could get more but gotta deal with other bills first.
Pleasantly surprised
First day using the truck, the steering servo died. It now rattles and sticks turning left. Then the battery charger's cords fell out on the second day. Called Traxxas and theyre sending replacements, no questions asked. Their customer service was really nice, should be fixed soon! Great company overall!
