Thanks, ya gotta love it , I couldnt believe how well it fly's too. If you let off the thottle just at the peak it will float so smooth. Almost no throttle control in the air because of the small tires but that what makes it some awesome. ok, I'm done ranting:lol:

I am running 24\83. Same as my vxl rustler. The only thing I broke was the rear bumper mount, which Looks just like the wheeliebar mount of the rustler so I may swap it over and go back out.

I was using an 8 cell tenergy pack , its the Red 4500mah ones. I rebuilt the pack in order to get rid of the crappy and cheap tin foil they used for battery bars. rough speed, 40-45mph easy. Its geared relativley low right now but any more speed and your going to need 100ft extra room just to stop it lol

Bowtie, do you have an vids aside from the jumps. I'd like to see how well it's running with the VXL. I'm running the MM5700 but need to grab some more pinions tomorrow and gear down. Mines running good, but hot.

That thing jumps pretty sweet, how high can you jump it and still land it on its wheels, like 7 or 8 feet? Still waiting for my Slash, ordered a red one...

None yet. Like I said earlier that was her maiden voyage:p . I will try to get out to a baseball field or somewhere dirty and get some footy of actual driving. It handles really great but at high speeds it does have some body roll. I should mention I am running the cooling fan on mine as well. I never really run one without a fan.

Well the tree in the background that I was landing next too is about 13ft tall so it around 10 or so. I did launch it a few times into the tree and go it stuck in between the limbs. Kinda funny seeing the slash stuck in the tree, like a large lawn dart:lol:
