BlackSeaRC Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 This is a rebranded RGT Pro Runner, right? The latest RGT products are highly regarded, judging by the reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Looks good! like the winch nice touch, dont like the servo on axle but looks pretty tucked away. Ive been liking these newer ones, always enjoyed my highrock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I bet that's quite capable. No doubt a good price knowing ftx and good parts backup. The tyres look like the jconcepts rupture pattern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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 😥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 just watched this review of the RGT pro runner (same car) love the green one, have to say this crawler is loaded with features, and yes i am very very tempted but same as Wombat if i got it i would have to sell a rig or 2 maybe the FTX fury 2.0. Here is review 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyboy_uk Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyboy_uk Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I saw the green one on banggood, but it wasn't a matt finish. Maybe it has gone out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
