How about I start w/ I don't bash really... I just race so all it see's is track time just as the video shows. I race buggies/truggies for practice; but stuck w/ 1:10 for real races. I've never been to a BMX track but it seems to me you would want a full 1:8 buggy/truggy for that.

Hey Linc. You get this yet? I got mine last week and set it up with an old R1pro I had and got a Medusa 50mm 4800 from Mike and some 2s Neuenrgy 5000 car packs I had from my T4. I brought it with the the track Sunday and was just running laps for fun before the racing started. It handled way better than I thought it would. For goofs put it on the track and ran it with the Monster truck class a main. I only had a half charged pack cuz I didn't bother charging it after playing earlier that morning, but the little thing kicked ass. I was running 2nd behind an e-revo until the pack dumped at around 10 minutes. LOL Got a couple other guys now wanting to pick one up.

Fun little truck. Was just wondering if you got yours and if you got it together yet. I'm really liking mine. Best $160 Ive spent on rc in a while.

I have not got it yet Jeff. Good to hear it works well. I look forward to turning some laps with it at the Bash...

Got it today!!!

Very nice looking truck, has al towers hinge pin braces, and shocks. Even has the tires pre-glued! I should have this together pretty quick, but I will take all of the fasteners out and check for thread lock. I have a feeling this will be a fun truck to run at the track, as the balance and weight distribution seem spot on.

No pics? What setup are you going to run?

I think you will be the 1st RCM Honorary Picture Whore... I shall have a plaque made and send it to Mike commemorating this distinguished accomplishment...

I will run a 1509 1.5d with a MM on 2s lipo. I have some pq hardcase 5100 25c 2s lipos that fit nicely. Gearing with a 16t pinion seems to be about spot on, my batt was not charged, so I will throw it on the charger tomorrow and see how it does.

Gave it a spin just now and the cd unloads bad, thinking some 10k in there will do the trick. Feels like it has 0k right now... I may try 7k first, just to see the difference. Otherwise it handled well and seems to tun and track well. Definitely a track truck, not enough ground clearance to bash on my usual areas (grass and ditches), but they are more suited for a MT anyways.

And here are your pics, the coloring book is in the mail for you...
