Got loads of scaletrix stuff but nothing like that.
Looks like it'll fall over on the first corner!
Still at least it has it's own battery pack on the roof. What's with the tiny wheels?

There's quite a following for those. Takes all sorts. It's based on a Hi-lux chassis with a Previa bodyshell nailed on top I think. Nice high roll centre

Just a rebodied Shogun/Pagero. Handles much worse and they are ment to be a nightmare to work on as the body gets in the way of everything. Can't find it but there was a nice video of one on Youtube doing down a short steepish decent and the back axle came off the ground till the front bumper hit the floor, and that wasn't lifted, so the one pictured is probubly far more useless. Hopefully we won't have to put up with them much longer as they must be rusting nicely by now (mk1 shoguns just seem to desolve).

That kinda resembles a Christmas tree from the front; and would probably sway in a breeze just like one
