      This is the 1/10th Scale  Electric Powered, Radio Controlled, 4WD
            TXT-1 (Tamiya Xtreme Truck) Monster Off Road Truck Kit.
     Before developing this vehicle, Tamiya designers attended full-scale
         monster truck events in the US to photograph the chassis,
     suspensions and drivetrains of real monster trucks. This research has
        resulted in a 1/10th scale monster truck with a very high level
              of quality, life-like realism and pure performance.

FEATURES: Chassis: Ladder type 6mm thick machined aluminum.
          Drive: Four wheel shaft driven.
          Motor: Two Mabuchi 540s.
          Ball bearings: included, bushings are also included throughout kit
          Shocks: Oil-filled, high volume coil over with cantilever push rod
            design. This feature allows the shocks to provide long travel to
            enable the axles to clear the most extreme angles.
          Gearbox: One closed center gearbox with additional bracing that acts
            as a heat sink and an integral stress member for the chassis.
          Differentials: planetary gear.
          Transmission: single-speed.
          Tires: Split V treaded rubber 4.2" x 6.5" (106mm x 165mm).
          Wheels: Chrome finished plastic, one piece 2.6" x 3.7" (66mm x 94mm).
          Speed Control: Mechanical, three speed forward, one speed reverse.
          Bumpers: Front and rear nylon reinforced.
          Suspension: Four link solid axle, adjustable. Suspension links are
            made of high quality aluminum tubing with plastic ball cup ends
            for fully articulated movement. Front and rear stabilizer bars
            reduce chassis roll.
          Caster: Adjustable, caster/toe-in refers to the angle of the front
            suspension when viewed from the side of the car in relation to the
            chassis
          Camber: Adjustable, camber refers to the angle of the tops of the
            tires from vertical when when viewed from front or behind vehicle
          Steering: Dual tie rod system.
            Four wheel steering is available by installing 2 way connector
            and high torque servo (must purchase separately).
          Body: Pre-painted and trimmed. Most of hood is Yellow changing to a
            deep Blue over the rest of the vehicle with a White lightning bolt
            pattern on the top and sides. A spare untrimmed transparent body
            is also included for the modeler who wants to create his own paint
            scheme. Both bodies are extended cab pickup truck style.
          Servo Saver: included, high torque.
