This is a rebranded RGT Pro Runner, right?  The latest RGT products are highly regarded, judging by the reviews.

I have been running FTX crawlers for years, they are very good value, cant say i have ever really had any thing break, this new one is fully loaded, but part of me feels this is taking away some of the skill in driving, getting best out of the truck on the tricky bits

Love it, 😍, if I had the space and funds would get one tomorrow, but would have to sell 2 possibly 3 of mine, and I only have 1 i would think of selling, possibly one for the future 😥

more i see of this more impressed i get 

really getting tempted with the RGT branded one as they have it in a tasty Matt Green would be a great trail crawler......but stuff would have to be sold just to make room, maybe that would be a good thing

Looks like a nice truck. Some videos I've seen show that it needs bigger wheels to avoid getting high centred. Other than that it seems good.

 

Can you post a link to the matt green please? I have seen that they do a blue, red and green, but none of them are matt.

I saw the green one on banggood, but it wasn't a matt finish.

 

Maybe it has gone out of stock. 

I think it is a matt finish, cant see them doing it gloss and matt https://uk.banggood.com/RGT-EX86130-PRO-Runner-1-or-10-2_4G-4WD-or-2WD-RC-Car-Rock-Crawler-2-Speed-Off-Road-Climbing-Truck-LED-Lights-Vehicles-Models-Electric-Remote-Control-Toys-p-2003014.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=6287837&rmmds=search

Maybe it isn't matt then. This looks pretty glossy to me.

Guess we will have to wait till he gets it to see if it is matt or gloss 

I might see about doing an unboxing video when it arrives.....so long as i can keep my ugly mug of the camera

Yes, I understood that the roof is matt on all of the colours, but @Lone-wolf says there is a green one that is entirely matt.

Right i could of sworn a video on YT showed the green as a Matt finish but i have this wrong , my bad and sorry if i have inadvertently mislead on it. But im still happy with the colour
