They go pretty fast stock... I had to slow mine down with a 55T motor and it was still too fast to crawl well so I put gear reduction in it.

Ill see if I cant get you a short speed video of mine a lil later. I would say that it runs about 18mph give or take a lil. I need to slow it down a lil though.

It all depends on what you have to spend I think I can get you a real nice real scale looking one for 200.00 ill have to check and see if he still has it. If that is too much then yes i would suggest fee-bay. I am uploading a video right now but the quality isn't the best my camera operator didn't let it fully focus before starting to record. |

0k man here ya go. Don't let this video have to much of a negative influence on you. I still need to add some weights and get the body and such on (will be in tomorrow) and it will climb tons better. Te tires are stock Tamiya hummer tires and the wheels are HPI Stockers. I did a video with stock MRC tires and weighted wheels and the tree root wasn't nothing but I didn't have the sims card in and I do not have a cable so. Ill try again later after i double check all the gears and tighten the gear cover down. Also I only have 2wd in reverse. I haven't fixed that yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2zUlnRluu0 Last edited by bent; 10-18-2010 at 01:05 PM. Reason: Added sht |

I would suggest slowing it down to a 27T 20 or 19t what ever this is is a lil fast imho. But yeah it crawls ok I took it to my brothers Saturday and it did ok on the rocks i will have to have the GPM 4link kit so I wont get hung as much but yeah im lovin it. I will post a vid if we get the rain we are promised, if I decide to go playin! |
