Be honest Griz, how many times have you driven that thing. slap it into 2nd gear and fly down the road!!! Hilarity. I fried a battery once......guess cause I weigh over 250! Not good for it for some reason. |

I weigh a little less than that but the rear suspension still bottoms out on jumps. Catchin second gear is a blast. Ace, I'd worry more about yer dribin skills than the strength of yer truck. |

I think the Gaucho motors are wired in series cuz only one wheel spins when you try to articulate it. Have you ever thought of rewiring them in series? Added bonus is it would be roughly twice as fast.
