The Gen7 kicks some ass in the snow. How's the 12T Titan!?

I ran brushless for a bit, hit a pole, broke my steering knuckle, replaced it and reverted back to brushed, lol.

I have the 21T Titan with the TRX-4 ESC in my Gen7. I wanted brakes so my girlfriend can stop instant reversing. Here's my Gen7 before I hit a pole.

The 12t is awesome in snow .,. specially on 3s , good on 2s ...I did run 21t Titan before and works perfectly for both crawling and trails ...like you TRX body on it .
My TRX 4 is running Mamba X and 3800kv sensored and is a blast .

Makesme wanna get a 12T for random days of crawler blasting. Mamba X with the 3800.. Seen a couple YouTube videos and man oh man, must be fun as hell.

My TRX-4 is running a Hobbywing Quicrun 1080 w/ HH Trailmaster Sport, it's an improvement from stock but speeds don't differ much.

Love how both of you rigs are green! Mine are both Defenders.

I’ve mounted my proline super swampers on axial beadlocks. I still need to raise the body. But goes through snow (about 4”) like butter!! I do so like my 2.2s!!

I still have a lot of body work to do. And lights. I only had a few minutes to swap tires and try it out. There was definitely some rubbing going on. But I can fix that.

Were you able to lift the wheel wells too? I was looking and it seems like I can only raise the body...

I just did suspension lift , can't really lift body cos it will give space between inner fenders and body and look out of place
