That is disappointing. But I guess at $500 its a great way to get into a 1/8th eTruggy. But if the ESC and motor don't have any room to grow then your in for another $300 just for a decent setup if you want to push the limits. At least with the Castle stuff you know you can stuff 6S and and have a truggy that hauls major ass.
That reminds me. I need to buy a 22t Pinion for the truggy. I want to do a speed run with it but can't find a tire that doesn't seem to explode on me as soon as I pass the 60mph point. The VTR tires have a 5.57" OD and would hold together, but i spent $100 on those tires/rims and have no desire to ruin that investment by running an perfectly good off-road tire on pavement. I do however hve a set of GRP Grandini tires for my on-road rally game. Their OD is 3.8" so I'll have to step the pinion up to keep Motor RPM near the same as it is now.
I hit 71mph once, then a front tire exploded and i barely saved the truck. I had my old iPhone 3G strapped in with the battery using its GPS function to record speed and acceleration figures.
