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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    No problem. I might have to think about this now.

     

    I am also thinking about the SCX6 so not sure which way to go.
