      The front track looks very narrow. just shows how much wider rc trucks are than the real things.

      Is this new? They have just released a “Pro” version, nothing Pro about it tho, it’s just a assembly kit with a clear body

      I think it's this year but it's been around a while In this form. Don't know anyone who bought one. I know a guy with the original Vekta and it's not the most reliable of machines.

      Wasn't the rear diff an issue on these?

      The problem I've seen is the transfer case. It's just too weak for the sort of motor needed to push this about.
