I have not ran mine enough to strip anything...you think I might want to grab one???

if you plan on always removing and replacing your parts you might consider it.

sorry my interior parts have ALL since shipped out...no real progress on this yet..VERY SOON though.

Thank you very much sir. I think I've got a pretty good idea about how you did the mod. This is great cause I like the looks of the full front body but the bigger tyres will give more axle clearance. Plus they look badass I like the scale look of the smaller wheels to though... sounds like I'll be getting two sets of wheels and tyres when I finally get this thing.

originally, i tested a 18.5, 8.5., and now a 3500KV 550 can..the drive train is fine after three 40c 4000 MAH packs through it..the tran, tease and axles are built TOUGH!!!
ive never heard such a sound come out of this thing. When the body resonates it sounds crazy when the motor hitsfull rpms.

after further review, testing and a lot of self convincing...it has come to my understanding that THIS will be my new 1.9 scale Competition(G6 adventurist/Tuff truck) truck...It drives really well and can take a beating...so, with that said this build will head in an entirely different direction i may 4 link the rear, and I've decided that the shoes will be filled with RC4wd new compound Baja claws 4.19" keep an eye out, Money just got some new inspiration....thanks Ricky, Dready and Zach...this thing is going to be insane.

You just asked if you could change the tires...what is with all this talk. I knew that getting you four guys together would only be bad...

My first impression, this truck sidehills like no other..(after doing the shift servo mod, the only thing that sits up high is the motor and steering servo.)articulation isn't half bad and second gear really gets this thing going...i was running a 3 pole 20t motor on 3S, but the transmissions low gear allowed for the sorest of crawling, tire wedges and all. While still allowing the motor to be cool.
My next experiment is to run a 21.5 sensored brushless setup to see if i can kill some of the 2 speed play in the transmission(typical of all 2 speeds) with a smoother startup, stronger drag brake, and really good modulation...if all else fails COBALT PULLER!! Enjoy.

Kila, I going "borrow" one pic to show my friend. Mahalo!
