interesting, those bumps would be bone jarring if that was real life scale, but then again the tires would absorb alot more then they are on those RCs

those things are awsome. my buddy has a lightning and a ralley car, and theyre pretty fast. the lighting isn't quite as detailed as those F350s though. if they made a video of just the white one they could probably fool some people into thinking it was life size, almost makes you wanna go get one..till you see the price

Best deal I could find for the money, has been a great servo. I dont run a servo saver and I abuse this thing, so far so good

I didn't even check your link, just did and I wow. I was aware Tamiya was releasing a crawler but that thing looks competition ready. What are the specs on it? Looks like a slick ride. I see Spring listed in your location, is that Spring , Tx?

Are you planning to compete with it? When your back for the summer we could hit up a couple comps, that thing would do really well

We have competitions once a month. The group is probably between 15-20 people. To be honest I have not been active but I have been when I have time. The locations vary from the Woodlands to College Station and everywhere in between.

I am using a AM cheap transmitter, I have a MARS I was thinking about hooking up but for crawling it is overkill. I am usually going under 2 mph and giving it less than 10% throttle so having a great trans is not a huge issue

still need to get a gear reduction unit when i get the money. choices of 2:1,3:1,4:1, what would u suggest for rock crawling? im assuming one w/ most torque would be best for climbing rocks

Im using a 4:1, after all you can always use a slightly larger pinion if you need more wheel speed. My rig tops out at maybe 7 mph, never gets even close to that on the rocks. Lower gears give you more control in tough situations also
