Re: LGS Fennek
Outstanding!! Anytime you add movement to a model it is a huge improvement. Not that this model needed any more things added to take it over the top. Keep up the GREAT work!

Re: RC4WD R2 in a Little Big Rig?
The R2's are one of the best for the trucks in my opinion. Very reliable and easy to use. You can really play with the gear ratios to get the speed you want.

Re: AWD, worth it or not?
To me it depends upon how and where you are going to use the truck. If using it on dirt, AWD with locked diffs is a must for any truck. You need as much traction as you can get. If using it at Indy...
