Ok so I had a post that was more of questions in the basic stickies and the sort...

so I will post pics later but u know what it looks like.. so I still have a few q's not listed in the stickies... as they seem as questions.. and yes im going to DL the manual as it will show things and maybe point some things out....

so I traded my red dynomite bb tmaxx for this thing.. now this thing is well worn... the axial has parts that are going to need to be replaced..

so i took it out today and was not impressed at all.. it disappointed me in many ways and that is ok.. a different strategy from what im used too... crawling is different than bashing I know that...

Parts
Tires/suspension/frame - stock
Motor - Komodo Spec 19 motor
Spur - 87 Tooth
Pinion - 20 tooth


so alas why I wasnt impressed with its crawling ability.. i couldnt get the tires to turn AT ALL....

so I know it is recommended to get a 55T motor.. so 19T definitely is not for crawling huh...

and 20/87 either...

so understanding that I will search out for a motor/spur/pinion....

now what i was not impressed with..
turning radius was PATHETIC!!!! I will do a video tomorrow to show you...

now when i turned right and hit the gas the suspension flexed and the rear right tire was in the air...

turning left it took about a 20' radius to turn...

so i have those issues to work out...

so this thread is more for what i got and my first thoughts... gonna read more and see what others are putting in for motors/stuff

Thanks all!!!!!

also some serious axle wrap.... about 1/2" play front and back... im wondering if that is bad...
going to go to a local hobby shop and see what he thinks...
