Truck was finished a long time ago, would I make the purchase again, no! Out of the box its very top heavy, I've stock tons of time any money into it. Its a fun truck, mine is far from stock now, my stock scx10.2 would turn circles around it. Some of the plastics seem to be week.

I really only purchased because the lhs is the us dealer. It was a great kit to put together, I wish I would have gotten the other model but I could not justify the price.

I haven't drivien the other one, but I would say the hard body makes a already top heavy truck worse. The main chassis is the same between both. Its also the first run of a truck like this from this company, they have made upgrade stuff to help in performance. The hard body only accepts small 2200 3s packs.

Well I have driven this truck hard and needed a rebuild, so I decided to do a 360 with it, the result.

I haven't heard a lot about the Demon, so I appreciate the honest review. Cross RC has come a long way since the early days of the company, and they appear to be headed in the right direction.
I might pick up a kit one day, if for nothing else, to have yet another shelf Queen.

I’ve keep looking at their dually pick up truck when I stop in hobby store. Haven’t been bitten by the scaler bug yet. But it does look interesting.

The other is cost, I’ve got no problem spending but at almost $500 with electronics, that rough to justify. It’s on my watch list for winter as a possibility

You definitely dont need to be in the middle of now where to go crawling, most spots I go are 15 minutes from my house, you just need to think out side the box, its as simple of finding some rocks, or a little bit of woods.

I read that quite a bit. That scale RC is relaxing. I kinda see it but not enuff to make me jump in yet. It’s mostly from the lack of any good scale spots really in my suburbs. It’s mixed on the forest preserves out here. Some seem ok with RC, group located about 60 miles west few times a year comes this way. But some of the preserves have strictly enforced the “no motorized vehicles” rule. And take the preserve part to the full degree, issuing tickets for going off the paved bike paths.

the redcat everest gen7 (yes redcat) makes a decent crawler 99%rtr out of the box for under 300 for the pro (scale acc like roof rack, spare tire, sand ramps, tools and jerry can)and 200 for the sport (none of the above mentioned items). they both come with basic 5000mah 6 cell nicd battery and a basic wall mount charger. i got the pro for the sport price from my lhs cuz it was a open box and demo rig. and as much as everybody bashes redcat mine does pretty well. the only thing i have changed is the radio ( put my dx3c in for the 3rd ch for my winch) esc (castle cuz its got better settings) and motor (integy 35t cuz the stock motor was to fast for me) and this thing goes the same places my old scx10 went with no problems
