It is pretty quick. I haven't really flogged it yet sense Im not running any upgraded gears and my rear axle case is broken the driver side lockout is early on there.

It's definitely got a little more speed than mine. I have a 3 cell Lipo and a 10.5t coming for mine though. Should help give me some wheelies

Let my dog chase it around in the yard for a wile today and i think i broke something in the front axle. the drivers side tire binds part way threw rotation and on hard acceleration it dives right.

I got a new axle case for the rear in the mail to replace the broken one. Put it together yesterday and it is super tight i can barly turn the tires. Gotta take it apart and see what's wrong.

I decided to go back to the stock chassis. I missed the challenge of driving a stock-ish wheely king turned crawler.

Painted the chassis black so when it gets rock rash the silver signs threw.





Even went back to the stock servo and y-link

Put my body back on. Decided to cut the fenders bigger and put some body post holes in it.





Sorry for the crappy pics. It was really bright out.

Did a little more work on this. Picked up a 3s lipo and this rig seems way happier with it. It doesn't glitch any more the servo is faster and the wheel speed and torque from this crappy motor is actually exceptible now.

Here are some pics.





I also shaved the sidewalls on my sadonas up front to see if there was much benifit. I didn't see much today but maybe if I do the rears I will.

I also mounted a winch it works pretty well.
