I got one and ran the piss out of it for a couple of months stock. The stock gearbox gave up. I got the 370 two speed and that has been good for a while now, going strong. Put the metal axles and links on it. Had to replace the steering servo recently. Also got the RES v3 electronics . They make the low speed crawl control really good, very predictable. It’s a lot of fun.

@DoURC Жыл бұрын

That's some really useful info, thanks very much. I don't have high expectations for it, just see how it goes and what it's like with upgrades.

I'm currently doing some mad scientist stiff to some old R/C trucks that I have. I robbed a 9.6v battery pack from one and three 3.2v batteries from two others. Then, I made another battery pack out of those 3.2s. So, I wired them in series(19.2v) and put both packs in a little 3.2v truck. It didn't work. I did feel one component on the circuit board was really hot, as it hurt like hell when I touched it by accident, lol. I'm going to buy a whole new bigger truck and add one of these packs to what it came with. I guess that I could wire it in parallel and the charge would last longer, but where's the fun in that? It's going to be 19.2V baby! It should jump straight up in the air, or the fire department will stop by, lol
