Well, today I traveled about 60 miles one way to a Radio Shack to get me a nice little mod pile.
For $23 I got this:
In no particular order:
Aluminum oil filled shocks
Titanium turnbuckles
Twin motor
Spur and pinion gears
Antenna tubes and body clips
Shock tower kit
Replacement bumper kit
Driveline and gearbox kit
And three different types of tires.
Everything installed.
With low batteries, this thing was pulling the front tires from a stop.. not very high but it was still doing it. Might have something to do with the soft shocks too though.
Can't wait to give them a full charge and try it out. Definitely can't be giving it full throttle until I get some better diffs though.. crazy how much power it has.
