pullinteef, How does it hold up durability-wise? In the vids, it looks "heavy", like it sinks too much. Even though it's just a 9L, I bet you had no problems with temps.

Looks like I'll be getting one of those (nitro one) if I can scrape together enough for the asking price. It's the nitro one, so I too will be making my own motor mount.

Will a Medusa 36-80-2000 motor fit on there do you think? That motor on 4s or 5s should move it nicely if it can handle the power and not sink with the weight.

There's a few parts that will break for sure. I was in communication with the distributor guy in Rochester and he helped me out with some spares. It rolls over pretty easily and then breaks some of the struts on the front suspension, also a T-bar type piece that is the mainstay of the whole rear suspension broke more than once. It's actually pretty nicely designed, but not like driving a 1/8 buggy as far as durability. I'll take some pics when I have a chance. Yeah, the 9L actually worked great and is still working after JB welds of the rotor and can :) The guy also hooked me up with a great rider figure that really makes it look awesome, though it raises the COG quite a bit, making it even easier to overturn.
