Bush Devil 2
Back then Bush Devil (Tamiya's 101th item, I recall) was my first and last monster truck until returned to RC about 12 years ago.
The first(original) one was far from my liking for the looks of body and decals, but the chassis itself was good. The new arms, colors of the frame and wheels was attractive. Also running well on various grounds, no big broken, having light weight, in short, 'capable'.
Choosing the sequel is kind of compensation for my memory of that. Yes, it isn't same as the old one except a few, well, and hoping BD2 would be a nice truck too by itself.
Another reason of having get it is that I had a chance to can get it easily from the local distributor. If buy it from there, I have a right to order certain parts of this truck individually directly through the distributor. (Although it takes 2 months from order to arriving, it is quite useful when can't get parts properly via ebay.)
One funny thing is that this item received today seems just the first production, so the bonus item as 8 ball bearings is included. ESC is 104BK. It means the first production wasn't sold well yet while over 5 years?
I think, and wished, if Tamiya put some colored parts like pink wheels and blue chassis in the kit, the sales rate could be much better.
Thank you for your reading.

Yes, Tamiya wasn't brave enough!

I think so too. Tamiya seems went their ways rather conveniently.
