Its a great fun truck for silly cheap money, very durable as well. The very soft tires with no foams in is what makes this truck perform so well, when bashing off road. I tried Arrma Granite wheels which are considered very good off road tires with foams in them, I found the Gorgon performed better with its stock wheels on. I have also upgraded to brushless with 3660 - 3500kv motor & 120a esc & upped the pinion size, very fast on 2s & crazy fun on 3s. I run 3s mostly, you do need a wheelie bar when bashing now though which i fitted. Also need thicker oil in the shocks, plus shock spacers added all round especially to the front shocks.

Nice to see one on a track!This is one of my most fun rigs. Built it to BLX spec. The HR servo saver is a much needed addition. 🙌

Awesome video....i love the green one....😎👍

That thing is mega fun for what it costs, is going to be a market hit in no time 👏

Love to see the genny light! WNY born and raised. Great build

This is a great build and test. I have seen many videos which give this truck high praise. I think the tires with no foams help the landings. I have seen two or three videos where the servo saver failed. But, for the most part people are extremely tough on these trucks. The only other criticism I saw was the body tends to crack in the rear where the rear body supports are tied in. I don't think you can beat it for the price.

I brushless swapped mine, added 40 weight oil in the shocks... This truck is great for what I have into it..

As a first time watcher. I’d be moderately interested in a video or 2 watching them when they redo the track next time

Letsa GO! It'll need a custom paint job, easily worth a couple of tenths if not more. And I think that blue, white livery would suit it to the ground.

My mate his young son had a traxxas 2wd truck. Was very slow and bad handling. Then made it brushless, tried tune shocks, shoft weight, etc, etc...eventually ended up putting it on the shelf because that thing is just crap. I sold him my old 1/8 buggy and he has 10x more fun now and is enjoying driving with the "big boys". But seeing this thing, it looks to be way more fun and so much better handling. Won't buy one anymore off course since we drive the big cars now, but would have considered this definitely when it was on the market then... 2wd's have their own nice characteristics in my opinion.

i like the gorgon but if it were me i would buy the 4x2 boost granite for the same money cause they also make a 4x4 upgrade kit for it if you want. Im excited for this build dude!!! Your videos are so good, my favorite is the bandit stuff 😎👍🇺🇸

The gorgon is really worth the money, I got mine as rtr and it’s a blast for the price

You and Tomley rc should do something together it would be fun to watch

For a high-riding monster truck that thing's surprisingly stable.

Noice! I'm looking forward to see what you do with the tires! Mine arrives on Monday and plan to do similar things (with the goal to turn some quicker laps). I'm fairly certain the stock shocks come with 20 weight, so i think you're right about hitting the mid 30's. I'll probably throw in 37.5/35 but I need to check it out first. Perhaps sourcing new wheels/tires is the best play. The plan is to run a 4 pole 540 size motor, Hobbywing 3652 4300kv on 16t pinion. Will see where that goes. Love your commentary and detailed info. Diff has a gasket so I've read you can fill it with fluid. I was thinking 40-60k to start, though I know you like your's higher. Cheers brother!

Another great video... almost as great as that womb-broom your sporting these days!

Strap the battery under the chassis and add a skid plate.

Surprised them tires performed to your tire standards.

I love your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video about how to setup a rear motor buggy for beginners?

Reminds me of a Ecx ruckus

When these first came out I really wanted one and your vid is not helping haha. My plan is to BL swap it since something about an over powered 2wd MT just sounds fun..lol

Cool bro 😊

The stock servo is awful in these. Mine died after about 5 runs. I put a 20Kg metal gear servo in. It's Alot better now And it only takes 15 minutes to swap out the servo..

im sure u cld qualify it as a stadium truck

Stop falling down it’s hard to get up lol😂

Or, and hear me out now, I could buy a Bandit and put Stampede tires on it.

Was that track big dog RC? I’m near the PA border and desperately need a track to have some fun at, any other tracks nearby? More East? Or north? 😢

If u keep buying cars and tracking them and post time a lot of ppl will keep watching..

i think the stock shock oil is 35
