What We Like:
Other than the fact it looks absolutely stunning, the new Ultimate RC Hauler is sure to be on the top of scaler’s must have list. We love that Traxxas didn’t half-ass it – they properly extended the chassis and gave the 6×6 plenty of detail to match what a real-world hauler should look like. Wheels, tires, fuel tanks, side storage and LED lighting – just a well done job on this rig!

What We’re Not Sure About:
Well, if we have to punish it for one thing it would be that the bed doesn’t work like a real hauler. Yet. I’m sure someone will figure it out.
