well they released a new 4wd / 4ws version of the TXT..
a little too late, and A LOT too pricey - -

the speed control is a "stepper" ( 3 step forward etc. ie: non proportional )

just thought someone may want a look..

maybe they'll get it right next time

I don't care what anyone says but at that level and price you should get full proportinal throttle.

Just my 2 cents worth.

that's exactly what I was thinking - I don't believe that there's a radio of any kind either....

and THE PRICE tag - "ouch"

The Clod Buster comes the same way. A mechanical speed control, no radio, no crystals, as a kit that you assemble. Out of the box they are not as good crawlers as you think they should be. They are a good starting point though to build a crawler.
I have a clod buster and after puting in a electronic speed control it makes a difference.
They are expensive for sure. But hey, it's a hobby. It keeps us off the streets at night.
