Awesome guys!

The stock electronics are not that good, but they don't need to be upgraded till they cook. Other then the electronics I have not replaced a single thing on mine.

They need to make some more bodies for these things. Cool to see more people getting these.

I have a funny feeling once the Ivan Stewart body is released, everyone will have it. Then the regular body will be unique I'd like to buy the body kit and paint my own, but I suck at painting.

I have a couple 130oz-in servos laying around doing nothing and since I am converting Peanut to a sportsman rig I have the 21T Holmes Hobbies Handwound I could put in there if needed.
The only spare ESC's I have are old Super Roosters so hopefully the stock one lasts for a little bit.

Cody says he likes this truck and he is really starting to like the black Monster Energy look. I suspect mine will have the stickers removed and be painted black for his enjoyment.

That should work, I think I put a 120oz servo in and it works great. the stock motor will work for a while, what it doesn't like is constant running (battery after battery) and forward reverse action a lot. I never tried the stock esc, I had a sidewinder not doing anything so I threw that in. You can actually get the sidewinder SC version on ebay for like 40 shipped. Just something to think about.

Can't wait to have everyone down at the track!

I'm just going to keep mine box-stock, and rely on my skill to see me to the podium.

Just another way of saying I'm flat broke now, but I ain't skeered!!

I checked RPP last night and I thought they were $149 but it said out of stock. Right now it says in stock but at $199.

Correction...$25 off. I was so pissed at myself, I almost ordered a second one.

I'm going to use my "Buyers Remorse Anger" to fuel my drive for the Podium

Bah, with my luck I would have waited for a deal and they would have sold out of the brushed version. Then I would have had to buy the $290 Flux version and downgraded the ESC and motor.....I'm good.

Juan needs something to strive for. Me, I'm just going to be satisfied with driving you off the top of a berm.
