Sadly, Tamiya executives probably didn't listen to the engineers. About half the weight on this massive truck (5.7kg = 13 pounds) was from the tires.  My thoughts were exactly; "What made them do it like this?" 

Its always been my theory that Tamiya, who had ridden the wave of the Clod Buster being the "biggest" for many years (until the original Kyosho USA-1 electric came along to match its size, but then Tamiya responded with the taller Bullhead), fell into that mindset with the Terra Crusher. "Think the T-Maxx is tough, boys and girls? Well check out how big our Terra Crusher is!"
