  1. I'm pretty sur now it's the radio. I messed with it all weekend and got forward and reverse working. The only thing now is the steering isn't working. The bad thing is it's a 2 channel traxxas tq radio and there is no instructions on this radio so programming so far has been trial and error. I think I'll just have to call traxxas at his point and have them walk me through it. Thanks for all the suggestions though.

  2. Trying to get this thing programmed and not having much luck. I can turn the reversing on and off and also the low voltage just fine. When I go through the setup steps though I get nothing. I unplug the the motor turn it on and I get one flash. Then when I bush the button on the esc I get no more flashing pushing the esc button does nothing at this point. If I turn the car on with the motor connected it starts going with no input. I don't have any steering at all. Do I have a bad esc or am I just over looking something

  3. Not sure where to start after a few comments here. I never said the metal says quality or anything about a race vehicle and what is better metal or plastic in that regard. The kit to me from how it was packed to to the detail of all the parts is where the quality comes from to me. The metal part of it says more to the scale realism. I have read about and watched rc4wd cars in the past and they always seemed to still be missing the engineering side of it and also the durability. I think with there last two trucks now they are there with all of it. Seeing it out of the box just made me think how tamiya started out being scale realistic models you could drive. I don't mind some of the "silly" cars like the wild willy, lunchbox or even the new tractors I just wish tamiya still produced more cars like the srb or the blazing blazer. Metal parts aren't necessary but to me add to the realism. Example of that to me is the vanquish currie axles. I want to get them just because how scale they are and build a truck around them. You can't tell me tamiya couldn't do things like the currie axles or rc4wd new yota axles. I just wish that tamiya would release more cars that I would say that are back to there roots is all.

  4. I have been wanting a very scale car for some time. I have owned plenty of crawlers but nothing that was what I would consider a total scale based rig. After looking around and considering several different rigs I finally decided on the rc4wd gelande 2. After getting it the other day I opened it up and knew right off that I had made the correct choice for what I wanted. Everything I pulled out of the box said quality and scale from the axles to the body. I was so happy to see everything was metal. After thinking about it I starting thinking this is what tamiya use to be all about, all metal cars that are scale based. I could actually imagine that if tamiya had kept that path the truck I had in my hands could have been from them, this is where tamiya could be right now. Anyone else have thoughts or opinions on this? Almost disapoints me to think of it like that but also glad there are other companies that have come up and producing quality scale cars like this.

  5. just broke down and opened it up and i will say i was a little disappointed with the packing. im use to tamiya and how well they pack there kits with dividers. looks like everything is just thrown in the box, little bags of parts just sliding around everywhere. i guess if thats my biggest complaint thats not so bad. can't wait to start the build on this thing. time to order bearings now.
