    How is that thing? Looks like great craftsmanship but wasn’t pumped on the AAA power supply for the $200 price tag. Had a grey 87 4runner in high school and have always wanted to get another since. Wife might be more happy with a mini rc instead.

    Looking to get into scale crawlers and after seeing that kyosho mini z 4 runner I was sold but unlucky for me it’s sold out everywhere that I’ve looked.
    Any recommendations on a rtr 4x4 scale crawler that I can get for around 200$ that is somewhere close to as cool at the mini z??
    Thanks

    I love it! I need to find some smaller rocks for a mini crawler course. IMO the AAA batteries aren’t a big deal, but I haven’t tested the run time yet.

    This radio seems decent for a RTR, I will keep it for this model.

    I jumped on the preorder as soon as it opened at RPP. They were just released, so I’m not surprised they are sold out.

    edit; I just checked RPP hobby and they show in stock!!!

    Axial deadbolt scx 24 is pretty close, it’s not as scale as the mini z but it’s cool.

    I just want the body. But know I’ll never get it built in the end so never ordered one.

    I had a super clean original bruiser about 15 years ago. Times got tough, sold it for about 1200, completely stock.
    Also had an art attack rc snowmobile that was super modded and fast as he'll, sold it for a pretty penny as well. Severely regret selling both of those.
    Also had a O.S. 4 stroke nitro powered xtm x-factor that was pretty bad ass. Sold it too, would have liked to put that engine in something else nowadays.

    The body is decent I bought it for the chassis and transmission. I found bruiseruptor yota2 axles for it now I need to finish it. The Chino red leafs I found broke so I need to re do that piece and find some shocks too... It's got a ways to go

    What do you guys think? Picked up a TRX6 and got rid of the G63 body first thing. Built the flat bed and designed some magnetic mounts for it.
