So I just picked one of these up...great little truck...I will be racing it along with the 22-4 i own....Best thing about it is that it uses 22 rear buggy wheels, so there are so many tire choices.....it needed a few things like new ball cups as the stock ones are garbage...but so far it's a blast.

I ordered one as soon as they were announced - but we have yet to receive them over here in the UK. I am hoping they will be soon. I have a mini-8 buggy and its awesome, such a great handling car, fast as well. Hoping the truggy will be similar and agree that the wheel size is a major plus point.

And here it is, like its smaller brother, handles great, but its a touch heavier. This is supposed to be 1/14th scale but its not far off a 1/10th buggy, but then again the 8th scale version is huuuuuge so i guess this will be also by comparison.
I swapped out the stock wheels/tyres as I wanted neon yellow rims, but noticed the staggering difference in weight between the two sets - which was about 80 gms in total, and that was the weight of one stock wheel/tyre! With these ones fitted it definitely picks up quicker and seems more nimble. Rotating weight hey!
