Figured I'd give my $.02 for people that are thinking about getting one. Wow. This little truck hauls a$$.:) Two Trx batteries parallel is too fast in my rough yard. This thing will bottom out in a dip and cart wheel forever. That's full throttle though. It handles really well for its size when speeds are reasonable. It's tough as nails, handles well and flat out fly's. I think I'm gonna go with some thicker shock fluid and the Proline tires/wheels and call it good for awhile. Smaller pinion and center diff next. With the batteries in parallel, the esc and motor were only warm. Batteries where maybe 90 degrees. That was runnin' hard in the grass for a half an hour or so. Still had some rip left to it when I shut it off. This thing is awesome.:D
 
With a bit bigger tires, this thing would be fun anywhere. It really could be geared down in stock form. Probably 2-3 teeth or so. That would make for some really cool running electronics and even better run times.
