Massive 7-inch diameter tires and plush suspension from 8 threaded aluminum oil-filled shocks make the Monster MT able of conquering the toughest terrains without even slowing down. The XTM .28 engine and a polished rear exhaust pipe make this behemoth run fast, tearing up the roads at speeds up to 45 MPH. A truck this size with this much power must lack in handling right?

Everything RC Cars have reviewed the Tamiya TNX 5.2R - Supreme Commander and write:

The Tamiya TNX 5.2R has come to new heights since Tamiya first launched the TNX series in mid 2004. The older TNX 3.0 was heavier, had air leaks in the fuel tank, and generally was a lot weaker. Now, the new and improved TNX 5.2R is loaded, at 1/8th scale and from 2-speed transmission to super tough steel drive shafts, this thing will blow your mind. It's contenting for top spot for 2007's best gas powered monster truck, with good reason. But what makes this RC monster truck so great? Lets take a look at some of the pros and cons of the TNX 5.2R, although, there's not very much negatives to say about this mean machine!
