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.

Re: From Alex, To Alex
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.

Re: From Alex, To Alex
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
