You might want some lathe motors and pinion adapter in it. It's going to be really fast as it sits.

lathe motors make this truck almost unstoppable. what a difference.

when i first built this i was running 15t jades -fast but no torque 5-7 min run times
then i switched to 27t stockers. these seemed as bad as the jades for crawling. 7-10 min. run time.

55t integys- awesome 35-45 min run time.

and this is on a 6 cell 3300 matched pack with 1.19 numbers

what a difference.
