Just bought a used one of these from Krawler Koncepts. Stole it for $180

Bought it as used but I doubt the thing was ever even split open or had a motor in it. Will most likely end up in either my Jeep Brute or turn my Timberwolf in to an open front hoodless rig.

Any feedback yet on how strong? I sent you a PM about it as well.. Also if it does get blown apart, where would you get replacement gears?
