  1. Bashing
I think it's called an Aftershock. Anyways, I'm gonna pick one up. Looks like it rips alright. It has aluminum knuckles and metal dog bones. Comes with 2, 3200mah 20c lipos and a charger. And a 2.4 ghz radio. If anybody has one, fill me in. I'm gonna hunt down more specs; esc input and a little more info on the servos and Such.
 
Sounds like it might be pretty good, thats cool it comes ready like that.
 
Looks pretty quick on 4s. Might pick up some batteries eventually and just see what breaks. There's a bunch of upgrade stuff on the bay for it, too. Figure this will be neat for bashin' around the yard with. Drop some teeth on the pinion and/or step up some on the spur to keep heat down and set some jumps up. Gonna gear the maxx way down to play on the hills out back. Try and get as much run time as I can outta her on nimh's. The Maxx sits up too high and hooks up to well on grass. I bet that Redcat would be fun in on snowy pavement with a evx 2 in 'er. hmmm...

I have a feeling that I would have asked that dude questions, and he wouldn't have known the answers. Nice look at the truck, though. The hobby wing esc/motor I had was alright. Ran like an old dirt bike on all but the lowest throttle curve setting, but it ripped. Dog until about 3/4 throttle, than hit hard. I over heated the motor to about 280(I know) In a 5 minute run. Pavement to hard-packed clay made more of a difference then I was expecting. It was 3000 kv motor and an 8 cell 4600 in a stampede. It ran at least 15 more packs and than wire came apart on the inside of the can. I couldn't complain a bit for $55.00. Anyways, anyone know what charger comes with it?
