Wot runs even over rough terrain is surprising good with the truggy shocks there jacked right up so i have more travel on jumps . With the back end sittin lower than the front so don't have too many front heavy landings.

castle 1800, mamba max esc, 2 ebay 3 cell 5000 lipo's, wheelie bar with aftermarket wheels I bought from someone on this forum (much thankful by the way, works great) and ubec. I like the way it runs. it's fast, not to fast though.

flysky 2.4ghz radio as well, have no complaints from this radio, hasn't glitched on me yet.

I did have to take it apart shortly after I got it because the throttle quit working and took the throttle piece apart, put it back together, this wasn't the problem. The problem was the connection where that piece plugged into the board. I bent one of the pins and it's worked flawless since. I have another one that hasn't given any issues at all.

I lengthened the chassis on mine by about 3.5 inches and put a going f4.6 engine in it. Put one shock on each corner instead of 2 and put hard springs on them. Put in a high torque metal gear steering servo and took out the reverse in the transmission, made it rear wheel drive with a spool and have really tall gearing in it. I love it, its the most fun thing to drive and I don't what anybody says, it does look a bit of a mess where the chassis was extended but its not for looks its purely functional.
