Congrats. You will love it. And it's always nice when you have the parts to complete, just laying around.

Sounds like the same ebay chop-shop I got my roller from (brand new, no wheels, price, etc.). Not complaining at all.

The pede was my re-introduction to rc back in 2006. Shortly after, I started racing truggies, but I had to get a 4x4 pede when they were introduced. I love mine. Simple, light and fast, in comparison to competitive 1/8 e racing... haha.

They are fun little trucks, completely different natured than the slash 4x4, actually quite a handful to drive. They don't wheelie constantly like the 2wd one does. It seems much quicker than the slash for some reason. I kinda built up a "platinum" one with the traxxas big bores, sway bars, and aluminum carriers. The thing was eating rear stub axles like crazy. I went though 4 in 2 days. Swapped the plastic carriers back on and haven't broken one in the last 4 or 5 packs. I'm just running stock traxxas stuff in it, runs really well, but the motor does get pretty hot. I think I have a 13t on it and whatever the stock spur is, always on 3s.
