what off roader has the extreme suspension travel , i presume they are for clambering over rocks ? Do tamyia do such a model , not interested in the new small one though as the ground clearence looks terrible .

TXT-1 is the Tamiya model with probably the most suspension travel out of the box. Some mod clods have the same, if not more.

Or you can get a Juggernaut/TXT-1 and modify it some:

just been looking on the web about one , must leave allone as i just seen the price ! wifey would divorce me if i payed that .[V]

Keep looking through Ebay, both mod Clods and TXT-1/Juggs come up for sale on a regular basis. You can get a modified runner with electronics for much-much less than what it would cost to build. For whatever reason these trucks don't seem to hold their value...

Wrong guys, a Mad Bull has more articulation than a stock Jugg or Clod, sorry but it's true!! My daughters Mad Bull will climb a 9" tall railway sleeper at speed no problem, the Jugg or Clod will break if it attempts same.

Perhaps true for the stock Jugg or Clod (BTW. we both suggested modified trucks), but not for the TXT-1.


Cleared the rock at speed with ease.
