I just ordered a Raze ST from Tower and a Raze buggy 46T spur for more gearing options (hopefully it fits). Can't wait for it to arrive!

Let us know which setup you prefer, MMM 2200kV or Medusa 80-1600kV.

It's not on his site, I e-mailed him about it and he told me that he had made one for someone last year and to just order a Kyosho mount and write in the details that I wanted a mount for the Duratrax Raze. I would e-mail him first just to make sure that it's not a problem. And He might have some more insight as to how it fit's in the Truggy. I've got the 46T spur in my buggy with a 12T mod1 RCM pinion and the thing is an animal. It's down currently so I can add oil to the diffs and check over everything else.

Towers deal for a Raze ST Truggy for $199 is really good. My nitro raze while to some is "not worth the money", is an awsome basher. Out of the Box it went 39mph per GPS and took a beating tank after tank. Only failures I've had were the crappy servos that duratrash put in the truck.

I'll be sure to post up which combo I like better and why once I get some time on them.

The diff itself was fine so I put new gears/ outdrives in it and 100k lube. Lipo's charged up, I took it out so show the girlfriend how "cool" it is. LOL. After less than 10min the diff ate itself again. This time it was the teeth on the ring gear, I reused the non-VXL one.

Now I've got it back togeather again with the VXL-Diff (steel ring diff gear). This time I only put a mix of the 100k that transfered from the diff and 30K lube. Diff is much smoother now, but I know it will be leaking out soon.

This thing is fast, the parking lot that I'm running it in has a lot of sand in it from the winter, so I think it will be a while until I get some good speed runs in. All I can say is this combo is ridiculous when it comes down to power.
