    Nice! I plan on getting one of the axial's. I just don't know which one I want. I was told that the RTR is nice for a beginner but when I want to upgrade, I'm gonna have to dump the stock motor and stock steering servo. So I was looking at the Jeep Wrangler Recon G6 kit. It doesn't come with a motor or servo. It'll be a more expensive up front cost but better in the long run. Looks like this Honcho has the 2.2 tires on it. I had a chance to play with some last weekend. Here's a couple pics. They are totally bad ass e7u2yda2_8800ea8454f632e7539e3b44527f3fb17ade3b0b.jpgmunyvy9a_6225285e1df41db8afbbe6fa7c8ac5a7fd9df793.jpgve4ety9a_1f54cac0e691aae90be961b73839f06d02866bb6.jpgheguvuza_298a070ec6ef642ceb91ef2007056b80f2a08595.jpg

    With a cool $600-$800 price tag. No thanks. I'll stick with a more capable cheaper $350 rig like the axial :)

    Both the video & pictures are really awesome and the driver has some amazing skills, but I think $350 is big amount for a rock crawler. there is a an amazing rock crawler at only $249.99 at http://www.thehobbyworx.com/rc-cars...-controlled-off-road-rock-crawler-24-ghz.html This 1/8th scale rock crawler allows you to climb over the most challenging rugged terrain.It is manufactured by HSP and its motor is really powerful as well try it out!
