“Animus 18TR I was recently reading a thread on your website that reviewed the Animus 18 TR. I believe it was posted by Tim Mohr in Nov. of 2011.

THE ECX Ruckus 1/18 4WD RTR Monster Truck ReviewWe were big fans of the 10th scale ECX Ruckus. It was tough, it drove well, and we had a blast thrashing it like we stole it.
