I have one and it seems to do well. I have nothing to compare it to though. It is a solid chassis and has no quirks to speak of. I think it is pricey but worth it if you have the means.

I love the Gecko Pro. If you ad up all of the stuff it comes with, it really isn't that expensive ;) I did well in a bunch of comps with my old Gecko, they do work really well. |

Jason, Do u know if the 60/40 kits still come with 8t pinions? I think it was for a limited time... Also, did Rcguy send u extra stuff in the kit because he knew it was you or does the kit normally come with all that stuff? Thanks |

The Gecko Pro comes with everything shown here, as per their website. It looks like you had to order before August 1st to get the pinions. |

But it says above that picture, "Sale extended to december 31st" wtf??? I really wish that website was more clear. And the only reason I'm planning on buying the 60/40 kit is because of your write-up, Jason. If they were more clear on their website I guarantee they would get loads more customers. As a newbie, If it weren't for your write up, I would've passed over the 60/40 if i had seen it on their website first, simply because there is a lack of information and pictures. Thanks for the help man. |

Pretty dang sure it means he'll include the 8 tooth pinions until December 31st. Sale might not have been the best word, offer might have been better. Could be wrong though. You should email him, it's good to build a relationship with people. |

I've got a Gecko II and it's great. But I don't think I would buy one again. I need a servo mount and they won't sell one. Have to buy another steering kit. Or build one they say after waiting a week for a reply. So if you need anything in the future for a Gecko, I guess your screwed for company support! I'm going to try a red bull or whatever they are pretty soon. Looks like you can buy parts down to a spare link from them. |
