I also will keep my eye on it as I'm considering either FTX Texan or spend some more on this [US$385.99]RGT EX86120 1/10 2.4G Crawler RC Car RTR Vehicle Models W/ Head Light RC Vehicles from Toys Hobbies and Robot on banggoodhttps://banggood.app.link/eCqRQqsCZfb It's a bit pricey but looks great. Has anyone tried it at all? I know it's nearly Absima price, but I just love FJ Cruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redback Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I'd expect this to be great, if the highrock is anything to go by this drivetrain is very smooth and quiet and surprisingly tough, even when compared to the enduro or trx4 transmissions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted April 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2022 It’s back together fully lubed up, swapped the shock oil to 70wt front, 80wt rear, took the door decals off, stuck new boots on and figured out why the brake light wasn’t working( the esc in crawler mode doesn’t have a brake) so used another port in the rx to have the light on permanent like the fronts . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
