Those are nice rims/wheel set. What size hex do they use? Kinda looks like 17mm.

MM, I have to comment again, that the vid was nice. Your truck seems to run very smoothly without any hiccups. That compro looks like it's doing its job, which is a relief to me, since I just ordered one instead of the Quark.

I would say it runs pretty well. Even though it's the version without heastinks (it's wrapped in heatshrink with only heat spreaders), it runs at a pretty good temperature. In the same truck the MM needed a fan to keep it from thermalling. One problem with this ESC is that the BEC chip burnt out, and so now it sends the main battery's voltage to the receiver. When that happened, it smoked the receiver and servo... But with a RX pack it runs just fine. I might take the shrinkwrap off and add heatsinks to it to make it run even cooler.

The Ofna's are probably your best bet, unless you wanna go with the RD Racing knuckles w/8mm axle kit and run buggy hubs.

Yeah, it's the MGM that arrived at my door as a replacement for one I sent in 6 months before I got this one!
