The rear dig function is not gimmicky at all. I saw this function pre-installed in the first kyosho crawler 14 years ago. The dig function can save you a lot of tipovers in very critical and very tight turns if you want to drive like a real crawl trail truck. Also, you can use the dig function as a handbrake to play in slippery surfaces😉. I like this model. It seems that it is one of the most complete rc models for an rtr. Very, very good job from FMS 🤌🤌.

It's 129 USD cheaper than my SCX10III and loaded with stuff I'd love to have on my Axial.

It looks sharp....ish. its a great truck for the money. However that spot in the front under the grill.....no holes, no contour. Just flat and bright orange.......looks like the bumper could go up or the body could drop slightly, and it wouldn't look like a refrigerator. Its like the jconcepts bodys......all the details are there, but the proportions are all slightly off. It looks good enough, but if the proportions were scaled up the talegate would be 3 1/2 feet tall from the bumper to the glass.... and the grill looks tiny like it should be 10mm taller. Im being nitpicky at this point. But with so many options for more scale accurate bodies......the price is going to have to be on point. Im sure they will still sell plenty

So I am all about that thing. It just doesn’t cancel the trx4, but the Scx10 with the dig. But my ONLY issue with it is, if I want to do a motor/esc swap, then I’m assuming I would have to switch to an aftermarket remote, and eliminate the functionality of things like turning the drag break up and down via the remote? Which I love that feature, but I don’t keep anything stock.
