I am in for some slash racin too. My vote is stock motor, stick packs for racing. any radio and esc. You can swap the motor and batt. out pretty quick for when you wanna impress your friends with all out speed, and all of us own a stick pack or two.

The only thing I want to change is the esc and servo because they are water proof and will work great in my G-Wagon.

Once we all have a GTG and we have these in our hands, this will be more fun than the actual rock crawling, IMO. Set up the track with some small inclines (ramps). "He didn't push you, he didn't hit you, he rubbed you and rubbin son is racing" or something like that. That asshole cut me off!!..Cole Trickle. | |
