Aha . . . 'We had one but the wheel fell off!' Actually I checked up on the UKRCRC forum and this particular kit is criticised for having weak axles and one member stripped a pinion in the gearbox. The general concensus was that it would be OK as long as you gusset the axle tube where it meets the gearbox and you don't expect too much for 160 quid! My other thought was that I didn't forsee anyone trying to get a 1/6th scale truck or armoured car built out of this crawler but fitted with a scale body to climb - or fall off- foot high boulders. I think RC combat with such a vehicle would be easier on the running gear when compared with crawling but heavier on the bodywork.
