This is the second of these monsters I have owned, the first was a generation two Maxx, and it was one hell of a truck!! But about six years ago, some ass bag stole my old Maxx, and I was left saying that I miss the big beast, well no more!! Now I can't tell you what the exact generation this Maxx is, but it is a few removed from my old one, but thankfully enough, the geeneration gap didn't make for a power gap. This truck just like my first, is a wheeley king, and you don't have to put the truck in reverse first, just let the truck sit still for a sec, and gun it!! I'm serious, it can and will ride the rear bumper. The other thing I love about this truck, and this is a nice step up from the older gens, is that it's water proof!! I can run this thing through water above the chassis plate and it won't phase the truck a bit!! Well I hope you all like the new truck in my stable, and don't worry, my Slash is damn well alive and kicking, I just bumped my Slash to a race only truck, that's all, see you all around.
