Awesome little truck. Significantly smaller than SCX24 and FCX24M. Because of the small size climbing capabilities are rather limited. ESC is very good, completely silent. 2-speed works fine, 1st gear is good, 2nd gear is way too fast. Shocks are nice, oil filled, work fine. Ball bearings all around, metal gears in axles, metal CVDs. Central transmission plastic gears and no bearings/bushings (but output shafts), shafts simply pressed into plastic housing, quite poor. Tires look nice (0.8 rims), not glued, no foams, ... but performance of tires quite poor. 7 mm hex. Radio looks quite cheap but works nicely. There is a servo mount on rear axle and radio has a trim for this servo and 4 modes for 4WS (normal, rear, crab, 4WS). However, you will need a second front axle to make 4WS, so this mount is rather useless. Front axle not available yet. Electronics are nice, 1.25 mm JST GH plugs, lot of non used sockets which will control further lights. There is an open port for the rear servo for 4WS - this will be nice since 4 modes can be controlled by radio (this works nice). Quite good and very detailed manual. Manual shows spare parts, and there is also a brushless motor and a receiver unit with brushless ESC - so probably a brushless version will come.
