RGT 1/10 Crawler Bowler Truck...anyone have one?

[Crawl.and.Explore]

Anyone have one of these? Reviews, better than Ftx outback 2?

Does it come the 390 motor as the specs says 280...?

Easy enough for upgrades etc. 

 

Any help appreciated. Complete noob in the Crawler world, although I do have a couple of cheap Chinese trail/crawlers. 

1/18 HB Rock Crawler and 1/16 WPL C14 Trail Truck.

Hey man, I hope I answered all your questions but if anyone else wants to know more about this variant I have mine in bits all over the place I think I like spannering it as much as driving it

From photos online, that looks very much like an FTX Outback 1?

There's 2 different Rock Cruisers- the old one is an Outback 1. This one is 280mm wheelbase and has all the upgrades of the Outback 2, plus the servo is chassis mounted and the axles are a little more "scale" detailed with bolts etc. I suspect the steering knuckles are upgraded too but not 100%

 

It also has a standalone Hobbywing 1040 and receiver for those who get stressed about combined boxes. An ugly shell that doesn't fit too well. And randomly fantastic Super-Swamper tyres that aren't just the usual copy Super Swampers (softer and larger), but which unfortunately are so well glued to the wheels I can't get the bloody things off to put onto my beadlocks, grr.

 

Basically I call it a 2.1, it's not better than the outback in any major way (and arguably the chassis mount servo is worse) but it's a good option especially for wheelbase
