In your experience, which transmission offers the best performances; dual motor or RC4WD V2?


Thanks

RC4WD v2 all the way... I had the 2-motors setup at first but man, sooooo slowwwwwww, boring to drive... But huge torque...
The v2 is the best torque/speed ratio out there... (and plug n play)

I love this thread! The very most impressive part of the entire thread is definitely that you managed to mount tires onto those damn RC4WD wheels, those things are horrible!!! but goodness looks great!

How did the Crawlster shock conversion work out? Worth it? Anythings gotta be better than the RC4WD internal shocks...

Cool mods, but it’s ridiculous one has to get all that just to make it perform how it should have out of the box. My Geko24 needed ZERO mods out of the box to perform as it should.

This is the conclusion I've come to as well. You would think for high end 1:10th scale money it would be okay RTR, but no. I'm in the process of throwing money at mine too.

Looks good noname. Definitely a visual improvement over the stock shocks

It's interesting that these guys have R&D'ed a completely bolt-on shock set and BTA steering that so drastically improves this little rig. Makes me wonder why RC4WD did not develop it a little further before releasing it?

Watch their own promo vids for this unit, and if you know what you're looking at you can see the suspension just doesn't work in out-of-the-box form...
