    RCing high sounds like fun. I’ve been clean for well over a decade but do miss it from time to time. LOL.

    I run this motor in my honcho. That’s pretty well geared. Still have enough wheel speed but not crazy fast. Tourqe as hell too. Just expensive af.

    on 3s? 8OT just sounds incredible, you could call it the Sloth. Gotta love that mad torque though. Maybe for a Dump Truck Crawler?:p

    So the Protek 130T servo is probably the minimum you want to go. I’m happy with the motor choice so far. The traxxas springs do well. Bottom line is the Capra is fun as hell!

    Your looking at it.:D But if you want a trail truck the look at the RTRs available. Find something you like in your price range. Hold on to your wallet, watch youtube, and dive in.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    I got back into RCs this just last week. I went on a camping trip with some TW buddies, and one of them brought their crawler.

    I immediately went out and got these two, a Truggy and Ultra4. I have been going through two batteries a day now.

    I own a Landscape Business, and we are building one badass crawler course in my backyard.

    New wheel and tire combo for my Baja Rey, needs a little modification to fit but should look pretty sweet. Also found a this sweet chassis vinyl on eBay.
