Here are some build pics, sorry for the wait. The body is, as you can see, only just painted. You can see my chosen color is dark blue. I sprayed it good with black first, then the blue. Strange color yellow for stock body, white/gray/beige would suit most colors on top.....
As you can see I have a basic rc4wd 65turn motor, cheapo outcry crawler esc w "turbo-bec", and 3s 5000mah lipo. May try 4s too. The esc is waterproof but has no lipo cut-off, so I need buy a separate one for running my lipo near the limit. I am using a 3ch fly-sky computer radio to control this, and it works well with easy gear change on 3rd channel
I was sceptical about the 65t motor, I thought it would be to slow. It was just perfect IMO, thats slooow in first, and "get around speed on 2nd gear". These high turn motors produse some serious torque!
