I ordered a wild willy driver figure but I have very little space to get him completly in the chassis , maybe have to relocate the esc to the back for creating more space the cage . I will see it when willy arrives at my home , I think he comes by foot

I have my rc4wd tranny about 3 years now and I havent got any problems with it . A couple of my friends also have one and idd they had problems with it too . I drove this tranny in my first car with a 35T motor and an 8 tooth pinion so it wasnt very fast , now I drive it with a 3300 kv brushless motor and its REALY loud so I just have to wait how long it will hold . I did just one thing , I over filled it completely with black indutrial grease

Thx , I switched the brushless to a tekin fx-r with a 19 turns motor and it drives a lot better now . The brushless set was cogging like hell . I just need a little more ground clearance . I want to change the tires too because we drive alot in dirt and mud . I am thinking about the tsl super swamper / boggers but has anyone some experience with them ??? , or should I take the good old mud slingers .
