Proper monster truck there!
A very nice toy. Only problem I can see is it must make the trails feel too easy. :)
I don’t think I know about that rocky climb. Is it new?

Graham, it is a bit hidden, just to left of the last incline, there is a sharp turn to the left that brings you to that obstacle.

Hi Cedric
It is difficult to compare.
Rocks is certainly easy with the SD33 engine (talking "old school", this was the predecessor to the TD42).
Highway - it is not really a racer by any stretch. But that is just as well, given the high lift with the over-axle leaf springs and 35"s. I need both hands on the steering wheel on the highway, and I don't go over 90km/h!
It is also much lighter than Skilpad, it only has the bare minimum inside the car. So not a fair comparison to the TB48, but the light weight makes "lightweight" of the rocks.

hahaha.... I'm sure you will kit this one up nicely too bud.
but yeah, on the rocks and loose rocks I think you will enjoy the crawl speed you will be able to do. I love putting mine in 1st low range and keep the revs around 1100 to 1300 max. That beast will eat those tracks up and spit out a highway
