Had a look and wouldn't bother with it. Look at saving some coin and get an AX10 - Capable out of the box, but need a motor, speed control and radio gear, or go with a Wheely king, has everything, but needs mods.

Looks to be a couple of bad about that truck.
One being 1/18th scale there small
Also being IFS/IRS, unless you like fabbing stuff. independant susp dosent work real well. Walker Evans tried in 1:1 and it didnt work either.

Don't waste your cash on that, check out RCCrawler.com and check the vendor section. I will find the link to a package for the axial, give me a tick.

Here you go, they are out of stock ATM but you can put one on back order and you'll get one and the money is pretty good. This is RTR all you have to do is put it together and charge the batts and you're off.

who says ifs/r doesnt flex, i have a 1/10 scale rig with ifs/r and it flexes well has had some homemade modding done but it flexs. but if your after full on flex then stick with solid/beam axles. u aid u wanted to go mudding, if u have the money buy a waterproof ESC saves waterproofing that.

Make sure you allow enough fund's for new tyres cause the stock Axial's suck.
