I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many bits are in this kit, looks like it will be a fun build! I picked up two of these from Stella (partly because I love offroad 4wds, and had to have the biggest in Tamiya's fleet - but also because there were rumours it was discontinued and I paniced a little bit =) His brother is safely packed away in the original shipping box somewhere. My 2 year old son loves taking the huge wheels in this kit and rolling them around the floor ... in fact he's just run off with one now.

Its an awsome kit. Dont build it without ball bearings though if you plan to run it. The MSC and stock motors are also not the best for this truck. I think most people glue the tyres to the rims too, even though the manual says dont. The gears will never break!

If I built it, it's going to get run =) Rest assured I have a ball bearing kit in the box, as well as a brand new super rooster ... though I am waiting to see if Novak iron out their braking issues on the brushless Crawler system - expensive, but very cool! I'm even tempted to try my hand at some crawler mods (clocking the diff, trimming the chassis and changing to non-cantilevered shocks).
