DaMaXXer: i have one, its not really fast (7-9mph with no load) and yes, you can drive with dirt in the back, as much as 9 lbs of dirt to be exact

The truck with the body off is essentially a Juggernaut 2, so with new wheels, tires, and body, you have a monster truck.
a monster truck with 91.6:1 gear ratio to be exact.. the juggy has a gear ratio of 34:1. and and im thinking of buying one of these :) its wery expensive yes, but as its not going to be driven hard its prolly going to last forever anyway... :) this is like one of those trucks you play with in the sand a a kid, only a little more expensive :D

could you put a brushless system in it to make it at least 20mph plus?

Plastic. The dump operated by turning the wheel while not moving and holding it there to access the third channel on the receiver without needing a three channel radio. Slow, scale and clumsy like the High-Roller unless modified. If a person were to want a dump truck, you could modify a Tonka and get just as much fun out of it without spending $500 to get it going.

I faintly remember seeing one of these in a hobby store once, but they are discontinued. I think most people just got the Clod Buster or Juggernaut and didn't really want the extra body stuff; it was a very specific body design that was built around modded Jug axles, and required someone who was really interested in an RC mammoth dump truck. No doubt a very realistic design (typical Tamiya work) and very cool, but it probably appealed to few people.
