Similar to the original, but packed with upgrades and ready to crawl right of the box, this mini-truck is truly worth your time. Some of the top features include:
- Realistic 1/10 Scale Replica of Marlin’s Toyota Pickup
- Yota II Ultimate Scale Cast Axles
- Twister High Torque Metal Gear Digital Servo
- Chassis Mounted Steering Servo
- 540 Crawler Brushed Motor 45T
- Super Soft Flex Leaf Springs For TF2
- Interco IROK 1.7'' Scale Tires
- Superlift Superide 80MM Shock Absorbers
- TRO 1.7" Stamped Steel Beadlock Wheels
- Front & Rear Tube Bumpers
- Customized Marlin Crawler Decals
So far this truck outperforms the original quite well. The upgraded wheels & tires provide ample clearance for great crawling, and I really dig the customized appearance.

The only issue I’ve noticed is that at full turn, the IROK tires rub just a little. For now, I’ve trimmed the turning radius to account for rubbing, but eventually a bit of fender trimming may be required.
