i placed an order for a G-Made Stealth, their 1/8 scale crawler. i'm pretty stoked about it - i've read reviews on other crawling forums for their Spider (their other 1/8 scale crawler) and Dragoon (their monster 'racer') that said everything was very well made, instructions were super clear (they come as kits). once i saw their new Stealth, i decided to sell my JPS clod crawler and build one of these. it's by no means a competition crawler, and is exactly what i like: a very scale-looking monster that will have great crawling ability. not sure yet whether i'll put a lexan body on it or not...looks pretty wicked the way it is.
it's still a solid-axle style crawler, much like the Clod, so i'll probably keep both 55t lathe motors and small pinions, and i'll most likely get Novak's new crawler esc. there don't seem to be many upgrades (cvds, metal diff gears, etc.) so i'll probably stay brushed. i know, i know. i just don't wanna have to keep ordering plastic diff gears from korea, lol.
i'll post more pics once it's delivered.
