If you run that 5700kv i would run a 9 or 10 pinion, I'm running a 14t and its still faster than a walk speed in low gear, mine needs to be running a 11 or 12t to be able to crawl and trail run with the 35t motor.

For sure...this setup is way too fast for this rig. Low gear is good but pop it in high and its moving. I'm probably going to switch it over to a brushed setup. I have a 55t crawler motor here that i'm going to throw in it. I didn't care for the 55t before but beings this is a 2-speed tranny, it may fit the bill. I just have to try what i have laying around before buying anything.

I had the 55t in my Axial Scorpion a few years back. Good for crawling but slow as snails going from point A to point B.
 
Finally got a chance to lay some spray down. Primed up and ready. Ignore the failed attempt at the hood graphics...me and painted graphics just dont play well together.

Looking good bro! It reminds me of my old 82 yota 4x4 that was primed grey. Prime the hood black add chrome wheels and a whip antenna and it would be an exact match lol
 
Not just yet brother. Got a bit more to do. Decided to go with original color i picked out. Waiting on lights and have a bit more painting to do....then it'll be ready to get dirty....or the shelf...lol

Nice!!! I like the color. trust me, if you put it on a shelf you will be missing out........lol
 
I forgot about RPP, thx brother. But yea, i can make them pretty easy i think. 1/4" keyway and a few holes and paint.

**EDIT**

That's for the body lift, i want the Superlift block set. But thank you the same :-)
