I would first change out the steering for the new alum. kit that gpm is making, It will help alot. I like the use of the jeep body, May have to do that for my cc01. also a 55t motor may be a little fast still, may go with a 65 or 75 turn, I put a 85 turn in mine and still kinda fast! Just my 2 cents. Great start  |

I agree on the motor specs.. i have a 55t with a 2-to-1 gear reduction and it still might be too fast. ill find out tom. if it doesnt rain..

It can be a little fast with the 55t. I've got a Fifty-Five in it and it probably does 10-12mph, which is scale 100-120mph, which is about good for a scaler, and with a good esc you'll have very fine throttle control still. Fast is relative.  Speed is proportionate. Too fast, just let off the throttle a bit!

plenty of wheel speed and tons of low end torque! Go super slow or super fast! Best set up IMO
