Great to hear this kit is almost here. One criticism, why did they change their nice plastic tire trend they did in their humvee into rubber tires on this kit? I don't get it. I personally thought the way they approached the wheels in their M1114 series was brilliant and the end result was great. Now I have to spend extra $$ on replacements tires.

As far as I know this kit was originally designed by Riich. Maybe even some tooling was made by Riich - I don't know. As a result there may be more things in this kit that are not "Bronco style" because of that.

That's explains a lot. I guess I'll have to live with it and go DEF tires as I like to get one for sure. Thanks Pawel. Btw, any new reviews coming from your department on modern vehicles?

It will be interesting to compare dimensions with Kinetic MaxxPro, both are original version.

Actual resin wheels are designed for Kinetic kit.
