Default 1/8 Force RC Muckraker

I took the plunge. Tower Hobbies has this one on sale for $250, so I used a coupon code and scored it for about $220 with free shipping. How can you beat that for a 1/8 truck that is RTR?

My initial impression, fresh out of the box, is that this truck is very nice. Time will tell in regards to durability, but I'm sure I will have a ton of fun with it. First test, I'm going to be bashing it pretty hard tomorrow, so I will report back.

interesting. i once contacted arrma and had towerhobbies replying to me first : they wanted me to buy this same truck. i said no ! then later arrma HQ replied to me and proposed me the arrma notorious, which is a good choice.

Of course the arrma notorious is much more expensive than the motherracker !

I watched the muckraker video and found the arms twisting way too much !! do you confirm this ?

In the plane world Force RC is the cheaper brand for rebranding older, more mainline Horizon products. Is this not a rebrand too?

I think I read it is in the same family as the FS Racing E9.5 / Duratrax 835E. Maybe this is a truggy version of those buggies?
