Check from internet many say it fun rear wheel drive. Is a truck but same as truggy wide tyre or buggy. I thing 2 combine into one. For this truck i have no problem with it, not that dirty and very simple truck not like other 4wd  buggy or truggy. Problem i can't get the assembly manual only instruction manual how to play this truck. No Fuel tank can buy from other Type Rc. The rear tyre i can buy, but for front different 2 ball bearing on the rim no wheel hex. I already try up using HoBao C hub and steering knuckle need modification to use axle with fix hex screw on it. I will do it next time but now just use back ori.
