Yeah, when I got mine last summer they had gone up but since I ordered that early spring I got the cheeper price. Just have to figure out what is what on Broods site.

[corporatelemon]

I don't know if I can justify spending more than 40 on a motor but when funding is available I would love to get a real nice motor

[Super]

Broods are $35.... Pretty good price for what you get and the customer service is pretty good too from what I've seen.

It was more scale looking than the SCX-10, but couldn't come close to outperforming or outlasting the Axial trucks. I was gonna part it out, but I might bring it back to life at some point.

[corporatelemon]

Yea it amazes me that they have motors for over a 100 let alone 200 its just amazing

[corporatelemon]

Dang my buddy swears up and down it will be better than the scx10s he hasn't bought one yet and already trash talking haha

[TrailDawg362]

SCX-10's will own the TF-2 all day long!

[corporatelemon]

Lol I feel as if I should make a bet with him

[Super]

It's pretty good for a scale truck. Those dif gears I think need to be shimmed properly from what I was seeing today sometimes RC4WD has "loose' tolerances.

[TrailDawg362]

Let him buy one and then school him on the rocks .

[corporatelemon]

Ill pass that along

[corporatelemon]

Yup let the good times roll

[corporatelemon]

This project buggy is getting fun just ordered another mmp so I can keep the exo rolling. Now I just need to name this build

[TrailDawg362]

Anyone considering the G-Made Sawback? I know it's probably a step down from the TF-2 (lexan body, no 2 speed or T-case) but for some reason it's starting to grow on me . Not sure if I want another "leafer" though. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and drop the $109 on a new Yota body to get the "Trail Loser" up and running again....either way it's gonna be a money pit!

[corporatelemon]

Oooh thats a tough one. I'd go with the new body.

[Super]

I keep thinking about a leafer but if I did it would prolly be the TF2. Sawback is ok but like you said , lexan body and no 2 speed. We'll see what happens next fall.

[TrailDawg362]

I guess the TF wasn't really too bad. Truth is, I was [U]not[U] very nice to it, as in not driving it in a scale way. I do like the detailed body and lights....maybe I can do the mods needed to make it perform more to my liking.

[Super]

You need to bite the bullet and buy a body for that thing.

I didn't have any issues but I used the Castle One cell esc at the comps in hobbytown Oshkosh and a lot around home, I'm still running the setup in my scx10 and its been swimming three time now
