I don't know many kits that come with metal diff housings, especially 3s and under. Even the Kraton 6s has composite diff housings. It's not really a big deal that the housing is metal anyway, as long as the gears are decent, and the mad van has a pretty stout ring and bevel in the diff. As for...
We have the V3 Granite 3S BLX. Great truck. If you run it in grass though, plan on breaking rear axles. It needs a looser tire tread for grass, something that slips a bit instead of tangling the blades into the blocky tread pattern. That or looser slipper clutch settings than what I am running.
I saw an offroad version of it somewhere that somebody did. It was lifted and had some off road tires on it. It wouldn't be a crawler, but it looked like a very capable trail truck.
I have always wanted a 1/10 trailer and a truck to pull stuff around. So share some pics if you come up with...
If I were looking for a hauler to pull a rig on a trailer, I'd probably look at one of these...

We took ours out last weekend for some light bashing. This was only 75% throttle. On 100% it just wanted to balloon the front tires and spin. It definitely needs some belted tires on loose surfaces.
If you are going out on trails, yeah, you will probably want a 1/10. The SCX24's are like small enough you can shove a couple in a backpack. But they would still be fun out in the wild given the right terrain.
The TRX4 having the locking diffs would add to the coolness factor, and when on the...
Join the SCX24 club man 😉
They are cheap, lots of mods available for them, and very capable little 24th scale trucks. And they come with everything. Only thing needed is a charge cable to use a regular hobby grade charger. They need a JST PH 2.0 plug on one end of the charge lead, and I had to...
I still want to grab a couple more SCX24's as well. I still need the Jeep and I want to build the Betty. Collect the whole set 😜
Oh, and I want to build one into a rock bouncer. And I almost forgot I need one to build into a Monster Truck.........................and I need one to.....🤔
Damn...
I keep flip flopping between a Tekno MT410, Axial Ryft kit, TRX4 Sport kit, or an SCX10 II. But if the Kyosho Javelin comes back in stock that is my first priority to snag that one up. Whatever I buy next it has to be a kit. I am also going to start buying parts for an XMaxx.
So what is at the...
