mini r/c

[rusty savage]

over all i love it! looks cool, semi fast out of the box, for a noob it has every thing except "aa's" to get you going, and after market parts are finally starting to hit the market. as for driving it is a great basher! it jumps great, handles very well (except at high speeds, but its not really made for land speed handleing) and if you drop a decent batt in you can run forever!
a slight down side is,
the stock duratrax plastic it about as strong as stock plastic usally is, so in this weather ive snaped all sorts of stuff. the stock motor is ok, but there isnt any low end grunt unless you pile on the cells. also the stock esc had a few probs on the first few runs released (i got a bad one) where if you wernt full forward throttle if you hit the breaks it slammed into reverse!

i swapped out my esc to a cyclone and the motor to a t-rex from one18th.com this pigs moves pretty quick now! im also running a 6 call 1100 gp pack.

a few upgrades you want pretty quick if you pick one up is cvds, esc, motor and alum shocks. ive also found it helpfull to have a few extra spurs on hand! lol

they are about to release a sport edition with ball diffs and alum shocks already installed. i cant wait for the ball diffs!!
