Its a re-release of the venerable Robbe Rodeo, which is now being called a 'Kaiman 6x6' by Conrad. Conrad also sold the KettenFahrzeug that was a poor compeditor to the Blizzard/Pistenbully by Kyosho/Graupner. http://www.pdf.conrad.de/pdf/WX/lo/WX_0095.pdf And for that 299.00 Euro you get it upgraded with twin ESC's, not the twin MSC's that the PistenBully and Rodeo had. This will allow the now infamous 'superspins' that many people dislike, and could not be done with the MSC's. They operated oddly, one being a throttle, the other being a power-divider, a mechanical way of doing what the Tamiya Leopard's gearbox does now. If you look carefully at the optional stuff down the bottom, you can see the ~VERY~ rare and almost unobtanium Water Cannon Body (LoschMonitor Karosserie) is now again available for 99.95 Euro! http://www.conrad.de/script/funktionssatz_loschmonitor_f.sap http://www.eiteljo.de/Rodeo.html (this one has the water-cannon body) The one tidbit I've found in my searches is that the tires need to go on in reverse of the shown direction to get any decent headway in the water. I've also seen it done up as a semi-replica of the APC from 'Aliens'... stuffed under a 12" G.I. Joe ATV (the yellow one) and can think of a few other neat ideas... WhiteWolf (gone too long...)
