Well I finnaly ran it for the first time with it completley finished. I got another tazer 12t that has been working so far(knock on wood) and started chipping some paint and getting some scratches So I got a couple pictures and I'd like to get a video in but I don't know if anyone wants to see 30sec cell phone vids. I've had alot of fun with it so far and rear steer, suspension winch, and etc. really makes it intresting. The suspension winch actually makes a difference too. The only pain is changing batteries and the short runtimes, but these batteries are old and abused too. I'm probobly getting like 20min with these 1500s and the 19t (I might try to adjust the timing too) I like the motor set up since i got enough torque and I can do some rock racin too. And I got the rc4wd shocks working really well by filling them with thin oil and drilling some more holes in the pistons. I can drop the truck from 1-2ft without bottoming out. It also makes it hop over jumps and obstacles real nice which I was not expecting. And i'm extremely happy with the crawling peformance which also suprised me. It climbs nice and slow no problem and stays well planted with the weight evenly distributed through the chassis. Makes it up steep walls no problem |

Looks really cool and as a bonus, sounds like it performs well! You can download programs to turn cell phone vids into a format you can work with, but they will still look like crap! Only good thing is you can string them together. |

some pics I took a while ago. I might try to get a real video when I start running it again (been working on the 1:1 nonstop and school sucks lol) and started another project which has been rolling along pretty nicely I crawled into this, the suspension winch is badass Looks fake? nope but the camera might make it look a little more steep |
