The other day I bought the maisto rock crawler, and I gotta say I'm quite impressed with it. It does do what they say its susposed do. After I got it I looked up some reviews and a lot of people gave it like an A-. For the price it aint bad, but,the only things I didn't like about is that you need6AA. Batterys for the truck, and I feel that it is a bit too low geared, over all I like it. So does anybody have one yet and what do you think about it.
I forgot I had a camera on my phone ;D . But here are some pics.

I got it at wal-mart for 30 bucks, and when I saw it on the shelf there was just two of them and I made the decision I got to get it or else kick myself in the butt.
have u used it yet how is it?
I got one...a blue one werth every penny its amazing what it can do for 30 bux, been playn with it all mornin a single set of batterys ( 6 aas) I like it
And as far as gearing its almost 2 high...switch ur front tires around they do a lot better...truck goes over more n grabs better in reverse, swap the front tires around I di and it has a lot better grip
bought one for my boy for Christmas i think i play with it more then him well worth the $30!!!!!!!
Well I got some vids of it climbing the walls. After I master one handed operation I will try to get some vids of it climbing some snow piles.

And thank you for the tip about the wheels I will have to try that.
just picked one up. it is a lot of fun. it seems to need just a little more speed anyone know how i could do that? or would lithium batteries do the trick? willing to spend a few more buck on it. i feel they started off with a good structure just needs a few things.
all in all i love it. (the dog doesnt though) quiett
im going to get one been looking at them you can ditch the AAs and mod it to have a 9.6v battery pack look around on you tube theres people modding them out
