im so close to it, if it was infront of my face right now I would buy it. but since there are no parts out with my luck ill break it the first day. So id like to order some extra parts with it the monster, like i did with my OLs. maybe the $ will come down a tad when parts come out. but $170 with bearings and free shipping is not bad at all, only $20 more then an OL.

i just got to thinking that would be the thing to make a rock crawler out of. im sure the servo is stronger, and every thing is built up. slap on a set of my shocks, put an Ol body on where the OL mounts and go to a smaller tire. thatd be a hell of a little buggy. with a gear ratio it has and running smaller tires, that thing would have to pull like crazy. oh and ad neos

Using smaller tires is the same as increasing the gear reduction, IE, smaller pinion or larger spur. The truck will have more torque to pull it up and over obstacles.

not so much as smaller as narrow. you need to try to get that servo as strong as possible. keep it high off the ground so you dont get hung up, but yet not so tall that it keeps rolling backwards.

i doubt they used a different motor for the servo...but it looks like the gearing is different
