Tamiya Jeep Wrangler - 58429 (Radio Controlled Model Review)1/10 Scale Electric Rock Crawler - CR-01 Chassis:
Released by Tamiya on January 5, 2009, the Jeep Wrangler - Crawler - Off Road Monster Truck was popular from the onset. The vehicle comes part assembled, for those "who don't have time to build from scratch". Personally, the assembly of a new model is part of the fun and it helps to have some experience of the cars construction if anything breaks and need replacing - but who am I to argue.

Buying a Used Tamiya Rock Crawler (and What to look for)
Make a General Visual Inspection
Check the Body-Shell
If the body shell of your Rock Crawler is broken, ripped or damaged in any way, this can be easily repaired with rubber solution glue. Also, for added protection and if available for your model, fit an under guard to stop dirt and gravel entering the chassis. Drive Shafts and Turnbuckles
Examine the Drive System
The gearbox of your used Rock Crawler should be opened up to check for damaged gears and wear. If there is excessive backlash in the gearing, these should be replaced. A thin coat of grease on the gears is enough to allow smooth operation and reduce further wear. Pinions and Spur Gears
Steering Servo and Servo-Saver
Don't Forget those Bearings
