I'am not a monster truck fan but i actually like this . Somehow it looks more scale than most . It would look great with a Grave Digger shell

As an emerging Kyosho fan (and a fan of the Nissan Hardbody), I occasionally romance the idea of picking one of these up, but I don't think they're monster-trucky enough (if that makes any sense) Too much like an uprated buggy with an extra set of shocks and bigger wheels.

RCCA did a head to head between this and Clod back in the late '80's. Surprise surprise, the DD took speed and handling (only because it's speed got it around the track faster), the Clod got everything else, duration, crushing (the DD constantly broke steering knuckles when they ran it at a line up of 1/10 speedway cars) and so forth. Keep those steering knuckles in mind of you want to run this.

mmm!!! Guess it'll spend more time being stared at than run in that case ;)
